About Darwin Middle School
Welcome to Darwin Middle School, located at The Gardens, Atkins Drive in Australia. As a fully STEAM powered lighthouse school, we are dedicated to providing our students with the most powerful 21st Century skills through our strong focus on the Sciences and The Performing Arts.
At Darwin Middle, we believe in engaging our students by offering specialist programs that set us apart from other schools. Our VET programs provide students with the skills, knowledge, and competencies required for the work environment, spanning a wide range of industry areas.
We value the voice of our students and take their opinions and passions extremely seriously. In response to their feedback, we have added the "A" to STEM and are proud to be going full STEAM ahead. This integration of the arts into our curriculum allows students to explore their creativity and develop a well-rounded skillset.
Our state-of-the-art Music facilities, including a recording studio, rehearsal studio, dedicated percussion rehearsal rooms, and a Music Technology Lab, provide our students with the tools they need to excel in their musical pursuits.
We understand the importance of mental health and resilience in our students, which is why we have implemented the SMILE program. This program equips our students with skills and strategies to foster positive mental health and resilience.
As the largest middle school in the Northern Territory, we offer the greatest range of diverse academic and social experiences to our students. This ensures that they have ample opportunities to explore their interests and grow as individuals.
For Year 7 students, four core subjects are mandatory, along with a Language and Health and Physical Education. Additionally, they will rotate through the Electives of Arts and Technologies Learning Areas each term.
Year 8 students also have four core subjects, along with a Language and Health and Physical Education. Similar to Year 7, they will have the opportunity to explore the Electives of Arts and Technologies Learning Areas throughout the year.
In Year 9, students have the freedom to choose their elective subjects for the year, while still completing a compulsory Health and Physical Education subject for one semester.
At Darwin Middle School, we are committed to providing a comprehensive education that prepares our students for the future. Join us on this exciting journey as we empower our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st Century.
Reviews of Darwin Middle School
"As I was leaving the grounds with my guide dog, a teacher ran him over with his Ute. The school was dismissive and tried to cover it up, this is unacceptable. The school also refused to pay his vet bills."
"My boy goes to Darwin Middle School. We came from QLD and my boy started DMS from Term 4 last year. I have to say that DMS is terrible. My husband and I heard good things about DMS online and moved into the catchment so that my boy could go to DMS. It seems that DMS has a limited number of special classes for each grade. I don’t know how many there are but I guess there are 1-2 classes for each year (not sure). There are about 9 classes in each year. In my opinion, DMS only puts effort into those students in the special classes. If people think DMS is successful and doing well, I think it is because of the sacrifices of all other students who go to the normal classes. They don’t get any attention from teachers. I am so disappointed about that. This year, I got a call from the assistant principal saying that my boy bullied other student. My husband and I were shocked and contacted the principal and assistant principal asking if we could see them. We thought it was serious and we wanted to apologize to the student and his parents whom my boy bullied. We received no reply from the principal or assistant principal. They don’t seem to care if students are bullied or not. We used to send our boys to a Catholic school when we were in QLD. When problems arises, the principal, assistant principal, and class teacher used to pay attention to the problems at least. DMS doesn’t do anything. I am so unhappy that some students in the special class are successful because my boy gets no proper education and attention from school. I want to raise my voice. I recommend all the parents to raise their voice."
"Best middle school in darwin, Mr Dixon told us that we have 4 brains and we're connected with lizards. Also please bring back mr simpson, he was a cool teacher. And thank you mr dixon for putting up a dead tree in the middle of thr courtyard, it really brings character into the school grounds."
"This school does not address the bullying that occurs, and will actively deny it, even after the said bullies, then break into the child's house they are bullying, then assault the mother when she tried to ask them to vacate the private property in a 30minute sustained attack leaving her with a broken finger, chunks of hair removed, cuts and abrasions. They then let the children who committed this crime to still attend school whilst the bullies are posting social media stating that they are proud to have used violence and will continue to do so, no suspension, no expulsion. This is absolutely disgusting behavior the school apparently condones!"
