2020 marks the third year of the Aspire9 Program at Padua College. A dedicated Year 9 Centre on each campus provides a learning environment that is supportive and tailored to the needs of adolescents.
The aims of the Padua College Aspire9 program are to;
· Educate the whole person
· Build strong relationships that enhance a positive and supportive learning environment.
· Develop self-aware learners who are active in the community and the wider world.
· Foster a range of 21st Century skills including innovation, collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity.
· Provide an inclusive program that engages and extends all students.
The Year 9 Curriculum consists of the core subjects: myLife, Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Health & PE, Geography and History, plus 4 semester based electives (two in semester one, and two in semester two).
A key component of our Aspire9 Program are the dedicated learning blocks or Focus Weeks. Students will rotate through two week long units specifically aimed at developing a range of skills and providing relevant learning experiences. In addition to this, students will spend one day a fortnight participating in Aspire9 experiential learning days. New in 2020, our Aspire9 Days will provide opportunities for students to explore areas that they are passionate about through intensive elective units.
