Term 1 Key Assessment Tasks (KAT) and Curriculum Handbook Update (Years 7–11)

We would like to inform all parents of Years 7–11 that we have made some important updates to our curriculum handbooks. To help students and families stay on top of upcoming assessments, we have added a new ‘Assessment’ section to each handbook. This new section provides a clear roadmap of the key assessments within each subject for Term 1. This will then be updated each term. It also explains how our Key Assessment Tasks (KATs) are used to support student growth and learning.

In addition, we have refreshed the Mathematics curriculum overviews in all handbooks. These changes are designed to help students build on their knowledge and skills as they move through Secondary School, setting them up for a successful academic journey.

You can find the new handbooks using the links below or by visiting the ‘Curriculum Documents’ section on the school Hub.
