Faith Middle School - Years 5 to 8
A time of growth, confidence, and connection.
Middle School at Faith bridges childhood and adolescence with care, structure, and opportunity.
These are pivotal years - when students begin to discover who they are, how they learn best, and where their interests lie.
Our Middle School is designed to support this transition with strong relationships, a sense of belonging, and learning that stretches and challenges students in healthy ways.
Students are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for their learning while still being closely supported by dedicated teachers and wellbeing leaders.

- Strong relationships and pastoral care
- Learning that balances structure with independence
- Purposeful transitions between phases

- Focus on wellbeing, confidence, and identity

Middle School Phases
The Middle School comprises two phases:
- Discovery Phase for Years 5 and 6 – opening in 2029
- Foundation Phase for Years 7 and 8 – limited places available for 2026 and 2027
Students in Years 9 to 12 are in the Exploration Phase (Years 9 and 10) and Graduate Phase (Years 11 and 12) in our Senior School.
Discovery Phase: Years 5 and 6
Stretching minds. Building confidence.
In the Discovery Phase, students begin to step up as learners and community members.
They are encouraged to explore new ideas, develop independence, and engage in deeper learning - while still feeling supported and known. Learning experiences are rich, varied, and increasingly connected to the real world.
These years build resilience, curiosity, and readiness for the next stage.

Foundation Phase: Years 7 and 8
A seamless transition into secondary learning.
The Foundation Phase removes the traditional “leap” into high school.
Students learn in a smaller, supportive sub-school with dedicated teaching and wellbeing leaders who know them well. This structure allows students to build confidence, routines, and strong learning habits as they transition into adolescence.
It’s secondary school - done differently.
