Stage 5 (Years 9-10) Pre-HSC Accelerator. Advanced analytical reasoning, NESA essay architecture, and Siba Sir's direct instruction.
Years 9 and 10 form the critical bridge to Stage 6 HSC success. We do not simply teach to school assessment tasks; we build the mathematical maturity, formal essay architecture, and scientific reasoning required to secure Band 6 and E4 outcomes in senior years.
Our English program develops the reading, interpretation and writing skills students will need in senior secondary school. Students study literature and practise:
Two writing assessments are assigned each week to encourage consistent development.
Students are introduced to increasingly challenging mathematical concepts, with an emphasis on understanding the reasoning behind each method. The program includes topics such as:
We encourage students to explain their methods, compare alternative approaches and develop the accuracy needed for more advanced Mathematics.
The Science program introduces increasingly advanced concepts across Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences. Students develop their understanding of:
We place particular emphasis on scientific reasoning, structured written explanations and the ability to apply concepts to unfamiliar problems.
Regular assessments reinforce classroom learning and develop examination readiness. Students complete four assessments in Preptive and one short-answer Science assessment in Rapidex LMS.
Our tests are designed to assess knowledge from different topics rather than only the material covered in the most recent class.
Students can review their answers and identify concepts requiring further study.
Weekly learning materials and the assessments included in the program are provided through our online learning platforms.
Our year-level course outlines provide details of the planned topics across English, Mathematics and Science.
Download Middle High EMS CurriculumOur objective is not simply to accelerate students through topics.
We want students to develop the reasoning skills, subject knowledge and independent study habits required for more demanding senior courses.
