Year 7 & 8 Courses

Stage 4 students

At Xavier High School, our educational approach is meticulously structured and thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse needs of our students.

Central to our mission is the development of a comprehensive curriculum that is not only in accordance with the standards set by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA), but also fosters holistic growth and academic excellence.

A progressive learning journey

Within our framework, each subject area is carefully mapped out, described, and evaluated within Key Learning Area (KLA) frameworks, ensuring that every aspect of our curriculum is aligned with established educational objectives and standards. This alignment allows us to maintain a cohesive and progressive learning journey for our students throughout their time at Xavier High School.

During the crucial transitional years of Year 7 and 8, we place a strong emphasis on providing students with a diverse range of learning experiences.

Diverse learning experiences

We believe that exposing students to a broad spectrum of subjects during these formative years not only helps them discover their interests and strengths but also cultivates a well-rounded foundation for future academic pursuits.

Our curriculum is carefully crafted to provide a balanced and comprehensive education that lays the groundwork for future academic success.
