At Assisi Catholic College, our Junior Years students are reflective, self-directed learners who actively shape their future and contribute to our changing world by living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Their actions are guided by the Assisi Habits and Values:
Being Prepared, Being Persistent, Being Your Own Person, Being Respectful, Being Responsible.
Learning That Inspires
Learning in the Junior Years is grounded in inquiry. Students are encouraged to explore the world around them and make meaning through hands-on, student-driven experiences. The explicit teaching of skills underpins this approach, supporting students to become capable, curious and independent learners.
Our teachers embrace innovative practices to deliver dynamic 21st century learning, using flexible learning spaces to foster collaboration and creativity. Learning is further enriched through JYTech, our dedicated Junior Years technology lab, where students engage in designing, creating and problem-solving with purpose.
Technology is used meaningfully to transform learning and nurture a love of discovery, while supporting the development of lifelong learning habits. Students are also immersed in our Franciscan tradition and begin their Italian language learning from the early years.
Growing as Leaders and Learners
Student leadership begins in the Junior Years. Our student leaders, supported by Peer Mediators, promote student voice and take an active role in shaping both learning and play across the College.
Trust and strong relationships between students, teachers and families are vital to learning success. A focus on positive growth mindsets fosters resilience, strengthens engagement, and encourages students to rise to challenges and pursue their goals with confidence.
