Year 7 - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Year 7 is an educational year group in schools in many countries including England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand. It is the seventh full year (or eighth in Australia and England) of compulsory education and is roughly equivalent to grade 6 in the United States and Canada (or to grade 7 for the Australian Year 7). Children in this year are between 11 and 12.

Australia

In Australia, Year 7 is the seventh year of compulsory education and the first year of secondary school (high school). Children entering are generally aged from 12-13, and leave around 17-18 years old. Students will experience more teachers, usually a teacher per subject, in contrast to the fewer number of teachers they had throughout the year in primary school. Subjects in Year 7 include English; Mathematics; Science; Creative Arts; Humanities and Social Sciences; Languages; Personal development, Health and Physical education; and technologies.^[1]

Year 7s will also experience their 3rd and 2nd last NAPLAN tests in March.^[2]

The school year is still divided into 2 semesters, with each semester having 2 terms consisting of 10 weeks each. The school day follows the normal work day of 5 days. Each school day is divided into 5 periods and 2 breaks.

English

In New South Wales, the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) lays out that Year 7 students should be able to respond and compose texts for the purpose of understanding, interpretation, analysis, expression and/or pleasure; use a range of skills, strageties and knowledge for their response or composition of texts; shape creativitly different meanings; find links between and among texts; show understanding of how texts showcase aspects of the world; identify and consider cultural expressions in texts; and assess and reflect on their skills they use for learning.^[3]
