About Year 9, 2010
Year 9 Coordinator: Mrs Laurene
Weichman Home Group Teacher: Mr Phil
Plotnek
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.
