Middle School (Years 7 - 9)
Cardijn College is committed to best-practice middle schooling through an approach to teaching and learning that is student-centred, authentic, collaborative, developmental and challenging.
Programs in a range of subject and co-curricular areas focus on group dynamics, peer interaction and affirmation of achievement.
