Learn about our Middle Years
The Year 7 entry into our Middle Years is focused on connection and exploration.
Whether students are new to the College or continuing from our Junior Years, there are boundless opportunities to be explored on Barr Smith Campus, both academically and through our broad range of co-curricular pursuits. Supported by a team of experienced and nurturing educators and wellbeing staff, girls begin finding their passions and their people right from the very start.
New to the College this year, Cloris is loving being at Seymour and experiencing everything the Middle Years has to offer.

Joining Seymour in Year 7 this year, Clementine has enjoyed exploring all the opportunities on offer, as well as the many friendships along the way.
Hear from Clementine and her Old Collegian mum, Brooke, as they share why Seymour was the only option for them.
When considering schools for Cloris’ secondary education, Aileen wanted to ensure that there was a focus on holistic development.
An Old Collegian herself, Brooke loved her time at Seymour, but had to be sure it was the right place for her daughter. Now having been at the College for a year, Brooke is over the moon with her decision to choose Seymour.
The Seymour College Middle Years is a dynamic, vibrant, and welcoming learning environment for girls in Years 7 – 9.
Providing a comprehensive suite of academic subjects, co-curricular options, and exchange opportunities, our Middle Years programs ignite girls’ interests, cultivating their skills and confidence as their sense of self and the world continues to grow.
Recognising the importance of doing rather than simply listening, our contemporary wellbeing programs involve collaborations with leading experts and proactively help girls build resilience and social connectedness. A robust Homegroup and Clan system ensures every girl is truly known and supported at every stage of her Middle Years education.
11 to 15 years old is a remarkable time of life, complete with changes, challenges, friendships to form and fun to be had.

With pride and dedication our teachers and staff make sure the Middle Years is an inspiring time and place to be.
The Middle Years is a vital time in a young person’s development; a time when they build on the foundational skills and knowledge that they have developed in their primary education, begin to hone their own unique learning identity and forge an individualised learning pathway.

Integrated learning subjects challenge our Year 7 and 8 girls to apply what they’ve learned to real world problems. They are supported by a core rotation of specialist subjects across technology, the arts and other interest areas.
Our curated Year 9 elective offering opens new doors in the lead up to the Senior Years without locking students out of any future pathways. By the time each Seymour girls leaves the Middle Years, she will have a strong sense of what interests her and what she’d like to pursue further.

Seymour’s array of ensembles, teams and clubs are outlets for expression and energy.
They represent an opportunity to discover a close-knit community and forge unexpected friendships, to hone skills and perform under pressure. We also take every opportunity to get our girls outdoors more often and for longer, creating exciting learning experiences through our outdoor education program. Our girls relish the challenge and freedom and embrace the personal growth these opportunities present.
