Welcome to our Community
where life-long learners are fostered, student
leadership is developed and learning is dynamic
and purposeful.
The College’s core values of Faith, Excellence,

Head of Middle Years social, emotional and spiritual needs are nurtured
and Transition and all students are welcomed and safe. The
Middle Years are the key link between the Junior
and Senior years as young adolescent boys are
experiencing changes in their lives from developing
relationships, questioning their schooling,
challenging the voices of parents, teachers and
wanting greater independence. Therefore, the
CBC Middle Years Program prides itself in the
area of Teaching and Learning in 21st Century
boys’ education. We have developed a flexible,
exciting curriculum in order to engage, challenge
and promote a positive attitude toward the boys
learning and school life as a whole. Teachers tailor
their curriculum to meet the individual needs and
interest of the boys, whilst developing and creating
a collaborative approach to their learning.
Our commitment to ACARA ensures that the
quality and equity of the curriculum reflects 21st
Century education. In particular, students will
explore Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
histories and cultures along with Australia’s
engagement and links with Asia.
Literacy, Numeracy and differentiation are a priority
across all curriculum areas and staff ensure your
son’s learning style is addressed and catered for.
Please contact me on 8400 4200, for any queries
you may have relating to your son’s education in
the Middle Years.
