Secondary School

From Year 7 to 12 our Secondary learning program is based on the belief that all students have the potential to learn and succeed.

Year 7 - Year 10

Students at Calvin Secondary School can approach their learning with confidence in a supportive Christian environment. They receive quality pastoral care and access to pathway programs that deliver academic, creative and practical learning outcomes.

Students in Years 6-8 are supported as part of our Middle Years Program with opportunity for peer support, distinctive play and learning spaces, and focussed pastoral support. Year 7 students are welcomed into our community from Channel Christian School amongst 20 different primary schools.

Classes from Year 7 to Year 10 follow the Australian Curriculum framework. While the Australian Curriculum sets the expectations for what Calvin students are taught, our teachers choose contexts for learning, and plan learning in ways that best fit Christian beliefs and worldview as well as our vision for Christian Education. Through the Australian Curriculum framework, we desire to develop independent thinkers who use creativity, invention and logic to clarify and articulate their own views and the views of others.

Our senior students are provided with a broad offering of courses with certification through the Tasmanian Assessment Standards and Certification (TASC) in over 50 different courses.
