Odyssey is our innovative, purpose-built learning program for Years 7 and 8, designed to set students up for success鈥攁cademically, socially, and personally. It鈥檚 more than just a curriculum; it鈥檚 a carefully crafted two-year journey that builds confidence, curiosity, and capability in our youngest Senior School students.

In Year 7, students are based in a dedicated learning hub, providing stability as they navigate new freedoms and expectations. With the support of consistent tutors, flexible learning spaces and a close- knit cohort, they develop strong learning habits and positive peer relationships. In Year 8, they step further into Senior School life, building on this foundation with increasing independence and confidence.

Elevate聽 聽Weekly coaching and mentoring sessions that build self-awareness, foster strong connections with tutors and peers, and develop lifelong learning strategies.
Odyssey balances academic challenge with hands-on, meaningful experiences. Through excursions, visiting experts and collaborative 'Magic Days', students connect classroom learning with real-world contexts. By Year 8, they鈥檙e leading inquiry projects, engaging with the community, and learning to think expansively about their role in the world.

It draws on global best practice in education to equip students with the mindsets and capabilities they鈥檒l need for the future.
