Our Junior Secondary consists of Year 7, 8 and 9 where students study the Australian Curriculum (ACARA). Murrumba SSC was the first secondary site in Queensland to introduce Year 7 into the Junior Secondary model of High School. Our best practice model for supporting, nurturing and challenging our younger students is the envy of many other schools and positions our students perfectly to achieve outstanding outcomes as they move through school.
Year 7 and 8 operate in a specific Junior Schooling model with core teachers engaged in their learning for English, Humanities, Maths, and Science. They also participate in other subjects with specialist teachers. For more information about the Creative Industries JCI Brochure.pdf
