Year 9 Curriculum
In Year 9, students begin to expand their choices in electives and experience a different manner of engagement into secondary school life. At present, their program is comprised of one semester of a more traditional Year 9 curriculum and one semester of an integrated, innovated style of curriculum which we call the Discovery Program. In addition to their learning program within the classroom, Year 9 students are exposed to an outdoor education component which seeks to develop their maturity and resiliency in different ways from those within the classroom.
