Middle School Report

In true Box Hill fashion, the middle students have made an impressive start to 2023. This year, we aim to focus on supporting the engagement and positive experiences of all students, so all students can achieve their personal best. This has also translated to areas outside of the classroom, with students eagerly involving themselves in swimming sports, interschool sports, and the College’s production of ‘Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of the Barbary Coast.’ We are constantly impressed with our students’ wide and varying skills.
