The pastoral care programme for the Middle School is a comprehensive and nuturing system designed to support the holistic development of students during this critical phase of their education.

Our approach to supporting inquiring minds involves creating an open and supportive environment that encourages questions and a genuine love for learning.  Our experienced staff and specialist teachers strive to ignite the intellectual curiosity of our students.  We provide and facilitate opportunities for all students to pursue their interests and connect classroom concepts to real world situations.

We believe in the power of physical activity not only for promoting a healthy lifestyle but also for instilling values such as teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Our sports program offers a diverse range of activities, ensuring that every student can find a sport that resonates with their interests and talents.

Arts and culture take center stage at our middle school, enriching the educational experience and fostering creativity among our students. Our commitment to a well-rounded education is reflected in a vibrant arts program that encompasses visual arts, performing arts, and cultural exploration. Students are encouraged to express themselves through various mediums, developing their artistic skills and discovering their unique voices. From painting and sculpture to drama and music, our curriculum provides a diverse array of opportunities for students to explore their creative interests.

Transitioning from middle school to senior school is a carefully managed and supportive process at Chilton. Recognising the significance of this educational milestone, we have established a transition program that helps family and whanau to understand the journey to senior school.  Information sessions and meetings with our skilled team of teachers will help guide and support students through this important stage of learning.
