At Years 9 and 10 students are placed in horizontal form classes with other students of the same year level. This gives the form teacher the chance to address issues specifically pertaining to this year level. It is also an effective way for students to adjust to high school. Students in the junior school remain with their form classes for several subject classes.
The school has a Vertical Form structure for students in Year 11 – 13. These students remain in the same form class throughout College. They meet together every day with their form teacher for administration tasks, pastoral support and team building.
Senior students are provided with more opportunities to lead and support junior students both in their form class and by being mentors with Year 9 students.
The form teachers, as far as is possible, remain with their Vertical Form class for more than one year. This continuity is aimed to provide support to the students. The form teacher keeps a record of academic progress, attendance and pastoral record.
