Stage 4 of the curriculum encompasses the entry years to high school, Years 7 and 8.

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) dictates the program of studies for all students in New South Wales schools in Years 7 - 10.

​

In Year 7 we introduce students to a wide variety of subjects. All areas of study are compulsory. Typically, a Year 7 student will study:

• English

• Mathematics

• Science

• Religious Education

• History

• Geography

• Technology Mandatory

• Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE)

• Music

• Visual Arts

• Drama

In Year 8, the pattern of study is identical to Year 7 with the addition of studies in Italian and Japanese.

​

The classes at St Scholastica’s are mixed ability across all subject areas

There is both remediation and extension for students in Mathematics and English.

Students in Years 7 and 9 sit for external examinations in the form of NAPLAN.
