Year 7 is designed to embed a love of learning and students demonstrating the College values.
The ELTHAM College values are:
- Be courageous
- Be curious
- Be respectful
- Own it
- One team
Students start embedding these in behaviour and mindset, setting them up for the following Senior School years.
Leadership
At ELTHAM College, we believe leadership begins early. For our Year 7 students, the Future Leaders program is a key part of this journey - helping them step into leadership roles, build essential life skills, and lay the foundations for personal growth beyond the classroom.

This is an exciting year where ELTHAM students start immersing themselves in the wider school community through joining their House and participating in collaborative projects like House Music, staged at Hamer Hall at Arts Centre Melbourne, House Cross Country and the Year 5 – 8 Production.
