Subject Description
9SHINE is a year-long learning experience and a unique educational adventure that teaches valuable life skills in gratitude, resilience, perseverance, and selflessness. 9SHINE is viewed as a step or rite of passage to a rewarding adult life.
Through 9SHINE, Tenison Woods College students will develop personal qualities beyond those possible in a traditional schooling environment whilst developing their over-arching sense of community. 9SHINE combines Personal Development, Wellbeing and Outdoor Curriculum as well as offering many other crosscurricular Indigenous perspectives.
Students will gain a greater understanding of self through the principle of experiential learning. Faith and wellbeing dimensions will be covered within the learning areas and will support the direction of the Child Protection Curriculum and student needs. The 9Shine Program will be highlighted with a 7-day/6-night outdoor experience on the Great South West Walk on the Southwest Coast of Victoria, requiring students to utilise the resiliency skills learnt throughout the course.
9SHINE expands student’s knowledge, understanding and skills to help them achieve successful outcomes in modern society.
Students will participate in a range of multi modal assessments looking at our themes of gratitude, empathy and mindfulness on a deeper level.
Students will also explore Outdoor Education themes including connection and care for Country, as well as their personal development of organisation and goal setting, health, safety and wellbeing.
