Years 9 and 10
Typically, in Years 9 and 10, students are preparing for civic, social and economic participation in the rapidly changing world outside of school. They make choices about their learning and specialise in areas that interest them. They are engaged in deeper, more complex thinking and use logic, ethical thinking and self-reflection as they examine events and issues in the world. They question information sources and can take action to improve health and wellbeing of themselves, their peers and their community. Students are increasingly required to assess and manage risk in relationships and everyday life. They understand the impact of behavioural expectations in different social and online situations. Through taking action, they develop self-respect, social and organisational skills and positive thinking habits.
