At this interesting stage in their adolescent development, young people begin to imagine their own identity and role in the larger world, and they take stronger stances on social, ethical and moral issues. At Taminmin explore this development through our Home Room pastoral care program where students learn self-reflection and informed decision making. This development is further enhanced by a deep dive into career pathways, supported by our extensive elective offering, preparing students to plan for senior school.
Students in Year 9 are arranged in Homeroom groups and remain in these groups for their core subjects and for their wellbeing sessions.
In Year 9 students continue with the five core subjects: English, Mathematics, Health and Physical Education, Science and Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE). Students nominate two elective subjects each semester as they continue to explore their areas of personal interest.
At Taminmin we value and cater for diversity for more information see Inclusive Education
