Torres Strait Islander Eddie Koiki Mabo was an Indigenous community leader and human rights activist who achieved national prominence as the successful principal plaintiff in the landmark High Court of Australia ruling on native land title.
Typical ages and grade groupings in contemporary, public and private schools may be found through the U.S. Department of Education. Generally there are three stages: elementary school (K-5th/6th grade), middle school (6th/7th-8th grades) and high school (9thâ12th grades). Some schools differ in the grades they contain.
Thus, a sixth grader switching from the public system may repeat sixth grade, more for issues relating to maturity than anything else. So, in general, ninth graders are likely to be 14 years old. The ages in the grade may range from 13 to 16, however.
