Middle & Upper Primary


The Middle and Upper Primary years at Wongan Hills District High School build upon the solid foundations students have established in the Early Childhood years. Your child is encouraged to become more independent with a focus on taking an active role in the learning process. They accept more responsibilities and begin to understand and appreciate different points of view.

A range of strategies are used to help develop your childs understanding of the learning process. Independence and interdependence are fostered and encouraged as students begin to understand the variety of ways in which we learn. Students develop the ability to think in a more abstract manner and undertake sustained activities for even longer periods.

Your child will be given increased responsibility for managing and organising their learning and continue to develop their independent work habits. Students also develop their ability to work collaboratively in groups through planned and meaningful activities that require sustained focus, interaction and decision making.

Activities continue to be integrated across the learning areas with a growing emphasis on ICT skills. Students use laptops, desktop computers and iPads on a regular basis to enhance their skills and awareness of technology as an effective learning tool. Students also become aware of a wider range of sources of information and continue to develop their research skills.
