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. At the same time, students are ready to challenge themselves emotionally, socially and academically and exercise greater voice and choice in their learning. 

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 a range of electives, students experience a range of opportunities designed to challenge their thinking and develop real-world skills.
