Year 7 is a crucial stage in education with students going through major physical, social and emotional changes. โ€œStudents need to be treated differently at the intermediate age,โ€ says ACG Strathallan Year 7 and 8 dean, Clinton Thomas.

โ€œThey must be nurtured, as theyโ€™re still young, yet challenged academically to avoid losing interest.โ€ Providing the right support through the change and development is key, Mr Thomas says. โ€œAt ACG Strathallan, we hold regular tutor classes for students in Years 7 and 8 to discuss things like peer support, organisation, and preparing for exams; we run camps to help grow supportive social networks; and we ensure our students have access to me, their dean, or the school counsellor when necessary,โ€ he explains.

Visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.
