初中是专门针对5至8年级学生的需求而设计的，他们从初中的学习结构牢固，工作参数明确地过渡到初中的期望，即通过独立和开放式学习来表现卓越评估及其学业成绩记录。这些年来的学生可以期望，在进入青春期的挑战和欢乐时，学校将保持愉快和相关。中学时代的特征是身体，情感，社会和精神的巨大变化。因此，我们渴望培养好奇心，热爱学习和与学校建立联系。
The Middle School is designed specifically to focus on the needs of students in Years 5 to 8 as they transition from a Junior School method of learning with strong structures and clearly set work parameters, to the Senior School expectations of excelling through independent and open-ended assessments and their Record of School Achievement. Throughout this exciting time of rapid change and development in their young lives, we at St Philip's Christian College, Gosford, seek to harness and enhance this energy as students grow into the people God has planned for them to be.<br><br>Middle School is designed to be a bridge between childhood and adolescence, promoting a smooth transition in a stable and caring environment. Students are in a stronger position to cope with personal changes as their educational surroundings are tailored to meet their needs at this time. Students in these years can expect that school will remain enjoyable and relevant as they enter the challenges and joys of adolescence. The Middle School years are characterised by enormous physical, emotional, social and spiritual change. It is therefore our desire to develop inquisitive minds, a love of learning and connection with school. James McBean states, You cannot teach a child you do not know. This statement, and the African saying it takes a whole village to raise a child means students in Middle School can expect to be personally known by caring staff that are willing to go the extra mile for their students.
