Students in Years 9 and 10 are navigating a transformative stage of adolescence. Identity becomes more complex, friendships become more influential, and young people begin to make independent choices that shape their well-being, relationships, and future pathways. Social pressures, online interactions, and emerging romantic relationships all become more significant during this time.
This curriculum supports students in developing the critical thinking, emotional skills, and respectful relationship behaviours they need to thrive with confidence, empathy, and integrity.
