Year 9 - Maths & Science

Course Overview

The Year 9 Mathematics & Science program builds confidence and mastery in key concepts while encouraging analytical thinking. In mathematics, students tackle more complex algebra, geometry, and probability problems. In science, they explore real-world applications of physics and chemistry  enhancing both theoretical and experimental skills. This year lays the groundwork for the higher demands of Stage 5 and Stage 6 study.
