Key Programs 

Reality Outside Classrooms 

Reality Outside Classrooms (ROCs) in Methodist Girls’ School Secondary is a relevant, rigorous, and responsive global education that aims to meet the problems of connecting our children with peers and adults from many cultures and learning contexts. The girls travel the Road to Discovery (Year 1), the Road Less Travelled (Year 2), the Highway to the World (Year 3), and the Road to Take Flight (Year 4) during their four years of secondary school (Year 4). They gain a greater awareness of the Asia-Pacific area and the world beyond the oceans outside of the classroom. They travelled the globe and discovered an exhilarating new perspective on culture and themselves in the global village in every place they went.
