International Baccalaureate
Since 1996, TNMHS Middle Campus has offered a comprehensive program which meets requirements of both the South Australian Curriculum and Accountability (SACSA) framework and the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program. It offers Years 3, 4 and 5 of the IBMYP and operates in a cluster of schools in which Years 1 and 2 are offered by three local Primary Schools.
All students in Years 8 and 9 follow the MYP, with Year 10 students divided into 3 groups:
- Those seeking MYP certification.
- Those following MYP but not seeking certification.
- Those who cease to follow MYP and follow SACSA only.
Year 10 students who have selected the MYP continue learning in the eight Areas of Study and must satisfy the Personal Project and Community Service requirements.
In order to meet MYP requirements, students must choose Language B, Technology and Arts courses in Year 10. All students study courses in English, Health and PE, Mathematics, Science and Society and Environment in each year. In Years 9 and 10, Maths courses are differentiated into Advanced and Standard. Language B (a study of a second language) is compulsory in Years 8, 9, and 10. Technology and The Arts are general courses in Year 8. Students study choice units within each area in Years 9 and 10, on a semester rotation.
