Year Group Programs

In both Year 9 and Year 10, students participate in programs which focus on strengthening key skills and attributes identified in our Learning Principles. Such programs aim to promote personal well-being and to foster a strong sense of self as well as building resilience and mutually respectful relationships.

As we are a partnership school with The Resilience Project, the Year 9 program focuses on providing students with evidence-based strategies to build positive mental health. The Resilience Project emphasises three key pillars that have been proven to cultivate positive emotion; Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness (GEM). With regular practise, they increase learning capacity, emotional literacy, physical health and happiness. Students are also provided with practical opportunities to build resilience skills, including extended Outdoor Education experiences and 'Challenge Days' throughout the year.

In Year 10, there is a focus on participating in activities which promote mental and physical well-being, which include taking action and being strong in service. Pathways planning is undertaken, with students supported to make thoughtful and well-informed decisions about their future directions.
