Secondary education is in a phase of significant reform, and families are choosing Bold Park Community School as a school that delivers the Western Australian Curriculum in a unique, personalised learning environment. Our Middle School teaching team are inspired by our educational philosophy and the latest in contemporary research in learning and adolescent wellbeing.
How children learn in this stage
The community class grouping of our middle school offers our students a friendly environment where they can continue to expand their concept of self and belonging as they seek to become increasingly independent. By prioritising relationships, through our small groupings, we provide an educational setting for young adolescents that supports and challenges them to grow academically, socially and emotionally. With multidisciplinary learning through our arts program and out-of-school experiences through our Outta Boundz program, learning is connected and meaningful.
Where children learn
Our Middle School learning environment is designed to help students understand themselves as learners and as part of a community. Middle School students spend most of their school day between two classroom spaces on our Wembley campus. Each space is designed with the children in mind, engaging and supporting collaboration and flexible learning conditions for individual students. Classrooms are regularly reviewed and updated based on the cohort and the learning taking place at that time.
Measuring success
Assessment and reporting are integral to achieving quality teaching and learning programs and ensuring each student’s progress. In Middle School, we use authentic and valid assessments, in line with the Western Australian Curriculum (WAC) principles of assessment, to effectively monitor student progress and to provide accurate reporting on that progress. BPCS engages in formative and summative assessments in line with the WAC and the context of each child’s learning continuum.
