In Year 7 students undertake six subjects, which through a middle school approach, encourages a smooth transition to high school. English, History, Geography and Civics & Citizenship are combined into Integrated Humanities, and Maths and Science are also combined into one subject. This is to make the transition to high school smoother for the students by limiting the number of different teachers and classes.[2]

- Integrated Humanities (English, History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship)
- Integrated Maths and Science
- Physical Education and Health

- four electives (one a term)[2]
In Year 8 and 9, the integrated subjects are separated into single subjects.[2]
