Amplify - New Program for 

Years 9 & 10 

AMPLIFY

As a part of the Wantirna 21 initiatives, the College has been excited to introduce a new program to all year 9 and 10 students called Amplify. 

This term Year 9 students are developing their entrepreneurial skills in a unit titled Start Up and the Year 10s have been participating in a range of workshops focused on making safe, respectful and informed choices as they move to becoming more independent as adults.

Next term, both Year 9 and 10 students will participate in Amplify Choices. Amplify Choices will enable students to select from 20 different electives designed to build creative and critical thinking, healthy lifestyle choices and community involvement. All students had an opportunity to make suggestions and give feedback on the Amplify Choices. 

Over the next few days, your child will be selecting Amplify Choices for Term 2 only. This is done via WebPreferences and your child received an email with a link. Whilst most of the Amplify Choices are without charge, there are a few offered which attract a small cost. This cost will appear as a payment event on Compass next week. Please see due dates for Amplify Choices below.
