Intermediate school selection: embracing Year 7 and Year 8

The Cathedral Grammar’s Intermediate School for Year 7 and Year 8 students is a popular entry point for parents who recognize the benefit of focused preparation at intermediate school level, to gain entry into preferred high schools.

Year 7 and 8 students are integrated into our Prep School which consists of two specialist single-sex preparatory schools. The Girls' Prep School and the Boys' Prep School operate as separate, but in every way parallel, schools.

A positive response to gender-based intermediate schools

Research has shown that children are more receptive when teaching methods actively engage their gender. This is because girls and boys develop at different rates and in different ways, both cognitively and socially. Both prep schools are located on the one campus, providing opportunities for interaction.

An intermediate school that equips your child for the educational challenges ahead

When compared to other intermediate schools, our small class sizes, excellent school facilities and the extensive use of specialist teachers create a more responsive learning environment. This ensures that each child is given the very best opportunities to develop educationally and to meet their full potential.
