St Paul's Secondary School: positive, contemporary and rigorous learning

In Years 7-10, our students engage with both the IB Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) and the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA) curriculum, attaining requirements for both.

MYP students develop Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills by explicitly considering social, thinking, research, communication and self-management skills.  Students experience real-life relevance in their learning and apply identifiable links across subjects. Concepts, such as logic, systems and creativity are framed by consideration of global contexts.

In Years 9 and 10, students choose from a wide range of Arts, Design (TAS), Individuals & Societies (HSIE) and Physical & Health Education electives. Middle Years students also participate in Service as Action (Community Service), undertaking voluntary activities in the broader community, developing skill-sharing and ethical behaviour.

The online learning system, my.stpauls and our one:one laptop programme enable collaborative and vibrant education. Learning Enrichment specialists support those students with a range of gifts, talents and needs, with differentiated curriculum matched to individual requirements.

In Year 11, senior students choose between the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

Parent information evenings are held at different stages, including Years 7, 10, and 11, to assist with learning paths and subject selection.
