Welcome to AIS
Secondary School
Secondary provides for the changing needs of students in their formative years. With a
dedicated team of teachers who specialise in adolescent education, students learn in a
unique environment that supports their developing needs and allows them to grow in
independence and self-confidence.
In Years 7-12 the Australian Curriculum supports the deepening of knowledge, understanding
and skills in all eight learning areas. The curriculum continues to prepare students for
civic, social and economic participation and personal health and well-being whilst providing
increased opportunities for students to make choices and specialise in learning of
particular interest. The curriculum is designed to equip students for senior secondary
schooling, including vocational pathways.
We know that adolescence is a delicate stage that demands guidance from adept and
compassionate teachers. Through the curriculum, these skilled educators challenge students
to start making decisions about their own learning.
