Middle Years
In the Middle Years at Carmel College, our learners engage in learning experiences that are relevant and challenging. We recognise that students joining the Carmel College community come from a variety of primary school experiences, and so these early years of high school consist of a consolidation of their previous studies, as well as engaging in new and exciting curriculum areas.
For students transitioning into Year 7, we have a handy cheat sheet from BCE that answers some frequently asked questions:
