The Year 7 and 8 approach
The Hub is a area exclusive to Year 7 and 8 students which creates a hive of social and learning spaces within the School. It is an age-appropriate community within the larger Guildford Grammar communities, allowing students to form greater connection and an improved sense of belonging to their cohort, whilst forming a close bond to their House group.
This softer landing into Senior School will create a nurturing and purposeful environment for our younger students and bridge the gap during these important, foundational years.

Learning in Years 7-9
Our Middle Years program focuses on a strong student-centred approach to teaching and learning, supported by specialist teachers. We understand that students in their early teenage years are only just beginning to form a personalised picture of what a purposeful and fulfilling future could look like; it is a work in progress.
Our Year 7-9 program offers a wide range of opportunities for our students to explore and better understand the very nature of who they are, what they like doing and what they are good at. Our goal is to empower students on their journey of discovery so they can choose their own aspirations for the future and decide what success looks for them like in a supportive and inclusive school environment.
As they embark on this new venture, our unique middle years program provides a smooth transition to secondary schooling and a rich and varied curriculum. Click on the course information below to read more about the curriculum for each year.
