Terrace Middle Years

Mission Statement

"Terrace Middle Schooling acknowledges the special needs of adolescence and strives to provide opportunities for each student to become an independent learner through rich, innovative and rigorous curricular and co-curricular experiences within our faith community".

This goal embraces:

Adolescence as a period with specific intellectual, social, emotional, moral, spiritual and physical needs.

The development of multi-literacy skills through cross curricular enrichment; incorporating a balance between student centred, enquiry based approaches to teaching and learning and traditional teacher directed instruction.

The need to develop students’ complex reasoning processes and higher order thinking skills.

The importance of integrating technology into the experience of everyday learning.

The opportunities afforded by first hand experience of social and cultural diversity in local and global communities.
