Hi Zoe, Firstly I think you are very lucky to be coming here and already the fact that you are asking about the school shows that you are curious which is great. We teach through learning expeditions so that means that you will study lots of subjects at once instead of having separate lessons. We also do lots and lots of fieldwork and work with experts often too. At the end of each expedition you will have a high quality product that you have made and you will present it to real audiences of experts, peers, parents and industry.
If you know anyone who is currently here in Year 7, ask them what they think too. I hope you are starting to get excited!
