About Year 9, 2011

Year 9 Coordinator: Mrs Laurene Weichman
Home Group Teacher: Mr Yapp & Mrs Adrienne Sloan

This year is going to be an exciting one in which the students will be challenged and asked to step out of their comfort zones. Along with their normal classes they will be taking part  in  the “Year of Challenge”. This will  involve a City Research Challenge,Wilderness Camp, Community Service and Celebration Dinner. All of these will require each student to dig deep, press into God and rely on each other, it will be a time of transition, growth and stretching.  

I look foreward in walking through this process with your wonderful child every step of the way, learning more about them and encouraging them to achieve beyond what  they could imagine for themselves. Overall an action packed year ahead. Please keep in touch throughout the year.
