School Year Levels
In 2006 plans were made underway to change the school structure for 2007. Each Year level has their "Year Level Co-Ordinator" as well as for sub-school there was a "Sub-School Manager." In previous years the school operated in three sections (defined as 'sub-school'):Junior (Years 7 & 8), Middle (Years 9 & 10), Senior (Years 11 & 12) - who wore the Purple style jumpers.
As of 2007, restructuring changed the sub-schools into two sections. Junior (Years 7 - 9) and Senior (Years 10 - 12) (Purple style jumpers). This has brought on a more typical configuration of a high school, similar to the US Education System. The Discovery Centre will mark the final year in the 'Junior' school. Though there is little change in where students physically learn, where the north section of the East Corridor houses the bulk of all Year 12 subjects and also incorporates many Year 11 subjects, and the odd Year 10 class.

Famous quotes containing the words school, year and/or levels:
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
“The country is fed up with children and their problems. For the first time in history, the differences in outlook between people raising children and those who are not are beginning to assume some political significance. This difference is already a part of the conflicts in local school politics. It may spread to other levels of government. Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
