Our School Years 9 and 10

By Years 9 and 10, students have a greater understanding of themselves and their indvividual passions, and have developed the confidence to challenge themselves.

By Years 9 and 10, students are beginning to assert themselves as individuals with powerful voices, and many develop an interest in social justice initiatives, such as the Amnesty International Club, Climate Council and charity work. At the same time, students are emotionally ready to challenge themselves emotionally, socially and academically.

The Year 9 Program at Ivanhoe Girls' is about meeting those challenges with an array of exciting opportunities to expand learning, while offering the stability and support of the School environment.

From Outdoor Education camps, Leadership Days, initiatives with industry-based groups, and the TREK program, students experience a range of opportunities designed to challenge their thinking and develop real-world skills.
