Middle School at Oakleigh Grammar is a time of transformation. From Years 6 to 9, students begin to take ownership of their learning, explore new interests and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Using the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) as a foundation, students are challenged academically while their personal growth is nurtured. The learning focus of the Middle School is a balance between explicit teaching and inquiry based, concept driven learning. The goal is to stimulate and engage students in contextual learning as they progress through the middle years of their education.
As an authorised IB World School, we deliver the MYP across Years 6–9. This internationally recognised framework encourages students to become:
The MYP also develops key Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills—such as research, collaboration, organisation and communication—that prepare students for success in Senior School and beyond.
A major feature of the MYP is the IB Learner Profile. It describes the learning attributes or characteristics that creative, internationally minded students need to develop.
The MYP encourages our students to be knowledgeable, caring, reflective, inquirers, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, risk-takers and balanced.
At the heart of the Learner Profile is teaching students how to learn, and to take increased responsibility for their learning.
The Middle School provides a pastoral program which explores the areas of social skills, values education, ethics, interpersonal communication, and relationship building.
Formal student leadership positions are also available at all Year levels in the Middle School through the SRC (Student Representative Council), and in Year 9 additional positions are offered such as Middle School Captains, House Captains, and Middle School Leaders with specific portfolios.
