Year 9 Enhancement Program 

The Enhancement Program  has been designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn through higher-order thinking, inquiry, and rich tasks as part of an enhanced curriculum in English, Mathematics, Humanities and Science. Students work on more complex tasks and learn topics to a greater depth and breadth. They are encouraged to see how their subjects connect to each other instead of thinking of them as isolated.
