Grade 9 Programming

Our Grade 9 programs focus on strengthening students’ social-emotional skills as they prepare for the transition to high school. Lessons highlight managing stress, understanding emotions, setting boundaries, and navigating peer influence in healthy ways. We also continue substance use education, including the impacts of vaping, alcohol, cannabis, and other common risk behaviours. By building critical thinking, emotional awareness, and self-advocacy, these programs help students feel equipped to make safe choices and support their mental wellbeing during an important developmental milestone.
