“Since then, we’ve been growing and growing and growing,” Surf Coast campus co-ordinator Debbie Riddle said.<\/p>\n
The Year 5 pupils will continue in the middle school at the Surf Coast campus until they reach Year 9 in 2027, when they will move to the senior school campus in Waurn Ponds in 2028.<\/p>\n
“A whole new building program will start this year, in preparation for the rest of the middle school cohort,” Ms Riddle said.<\/p>\n
Subject choices increases for pupils in Year 5 at Christian College Geelong, and they also take part in many new curriculum areas. “There’s a lot more leadership opportunities, there’s a lot more subject choices.<\/p>\n
“They have the opportunity to take two languages instead of one, they have the opportunity for a well-developed science program so we built a new science lab for them; they have more STEM so rather than just integrated studies, they also have systems and technology – the unit we’re doing this term is called ‘STEMing the tide’ and they’ll be making solar-powered boats.<\/p>\n
“They also have drama as an extra subject as well, and extra sport, where they go and compete against other schools.”<\/p>\n
