Year 7 students are grouped by ability in maths and science but mixed in other subjects like languages and literacy. Assessment includes both formal and informal methods throughout the year, with progress reported a minimum of three times annually plus end of year exams. The school software program Insight allows students and parents to monitor attendance, behavior, and academic progress reports over the course of study.
