Course choice information – Year 8 for 2023
Head of Year 8
Welcome to Year 8 at Hutchins. Below you will find a video that details the introduction of elective subjects for Year 8 students in 2023. We encourage you to watch this video as a family and review the Course Handbook prior to making subject selections. Beneath these links you will find the contact details of staff who are able to provide further guidance around this process.
This handbook welcomes students to the Middle School and emphasises the proactive pastoral care that takes place when students make the transition from the one classroom teacher experience of the primary school years into the subject-focused experience of secondary school. Faculties include John Bednall Centre for Excellence, Design, Production and Digital Technologies, English and Modern Languages, Health and Physical Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, Mathematics, Music, Science, and Visual and Performing Arts.
