Curriculum

The curriculum delivery at Glendyne is underpinned by our Educational Framework. Each phase of schooling has a specific learning focus with priority Literacy programs running systemically across all year levels.

Middle School
(Years 6 to 8) – Developing and understanding skills for engagement in learning

Our Years 6 to 8 program provides a safe, supportive learning environment where students can rebuild confidence and experience success. Through small classes, individualised learning plans, explicit teaching of Literacy and Numeracy, and practical strategies for emotional regulation and classroom participation, we support students to develop the skills and self-belief they need to actively engage in learning. Hands-on projects, scaffolded tasks, and a strengths-based approach ensure that each student progresses at their own pace and celebrates measurable growth.

Years 9 and 10
Exploring and experiencing life skills that build depth and breadth in learning

Curriculum is developed and delivered through explicit instruction, using a range of online and classroom-based resources. Learning environments are structured to be safe, supportive, and responsive, with a strong focus on building positive relationships and valuing student voice. Learning experiences are connected to real-life contexts and provide opportunities for choice, collaboration, and success. Through their subject learning, students develop practical life skills, including vocational and financial understandings, while strengthening independence, confidence, and academic capability. At this stage of learning, Literacy instruction places a strong emphasis on speaking and writing skills, enabling students to communicate effectively, express their ideas, and engage with learning in ways that support their wellbeing and future pathways.
