Junior School (7-9)

Years 7, 8 and 9 form the Junior School at Mount Clear College.

Whilst in the Junior School students undertake an engaging course of study that reflects the principles outlined in the Victorian Curriculum.

The program is designed to facilitate the transition from primary school to secondary school and to encourage the development of independent and engaged learners, empower students in their learning, develop school pride and increase student agency.

The Junior School Program focuses on:

  • working in a variety of classrooms and contexts to develop a broad range of abilities across the curriculum.
  • developing skills in literacy and numeracy that can be applied across the junior curriculum and in the later years of secondary schooling.
  • building students’ social and personal skills, with a focus on teamwork, resilience, reflection, communication and leadership.
  • the teaching of School Wide Positive Behaviours (SWPB), the development of a positive climate for learning and the forming of positive social connections with peers

Junior School Program

The curriculum structure of Years 7 and 8 has a core program that is designed to provide students with a broad range of subjects. Students undertake a course of study that involves English, Humanities, Mathematics, Science, Health & Physical Education, Languages (Japanese or Chinese), Visual Arts, Music, Drama and Technology (Food, Wood, Textiles and Mechatronics).

Students in Year 9 undertake a similar core program, however also have the option to select electives from different Learning Areas and also complete the ‘Year 9 Program’. Year 9 students also participate in the College’s Mentor Program (students in every year level throughout the College partake in this program).

The aim of the Junior School Program is to provide students with an introduction to the broad range of subjects that Mount Clear College has to offer, so that they are equipped to make informed pathway choices before progressing to our Senior School and undertaking a more individualised educational program.
