Welcome to the Middle Years Learning Community

The Middle Years at St. Brendan's Primary School is an exciting and dynamic time for our students in Years 3 and 4. With five engaging classes, this stage of learning focuses on building strong academic foundations, personal growth, and developing positive relationships. 

In the Middle Years, students participate in Ochre English and Maths, where they strengthen their literacy and numeracy skills in creative and meaningful ways. They also dive into Source of Life Religious Education lessons and Inquiry-Based Learning, encouraging them to ask thoughtful questions, explore new ideas, and engage deeply with their learning. 

Throughout the year, students enjoy a variety of incursions and excursions, enriching their understanding of the world around them. Our Year 4 students have the exciting opportunity to attend an overnight camp, where they gain valuable independence and enjoy outdoor adventures, building friendships and life skills. 

A key part of the Middle Years is the focus on Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships. Through dedicated lessons, students in Years 3 and 4 learn how to navigate challenges, build respectful relationships with others, and practice resilience in both their academic and personal lives. These lessons are essential in helping them grow into confident and compassionate individuals. 

With a 1:2 MacBook Air program, our students also have access to technology that enhances their learning, allowing them to explore, create, and collaborate in exciting new ways. 

The Middle Years Learning Community at St. Brendan's is all about growth, discovery, and creating a positive and supportive environment where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential. We can’t wait to see what these fantastic students achieve as they continue their learning journey!
