Year 9

In Year 9 we are very community-minded, and project-based, providing students with an array of experiences and opportunities in a variety of areas. Each term we have inquiry-based projects that strengthen our social, emotional, and cognitive needs.

The year includes a series of projects which develop key competencies, project designs, and community engagements.

In Year Nine we can balance our everyday learning essential skills with our engaging and exciting community focus and project-based learning, giving our students several ways to shine!
