  2. BIOLOGY

  3. Biology Biology aims to develop an understanding of the interactions within and between organisms and between organisms and their environment including levels of organisation of life and evolution as a common source of unity and diversity. The study of biology recognises that, while humans are part of nature, they continue to have a greater influence on the environment than any other species.

  4. Biology Practical experiences have been designed to utilise and further develop students’ expertise in each of the following skill areas: • planning investigations • conducting investigations • communicating information and understanding • developing scientific thinking and problem-solving techniques • working individually and in teams

  5. Biology The 2 Unit Biology Course is divided into two parts. The Preliminary Course and The Higher School Certificate Course. In the course there are mandatory Practical requirements which is assessed towards the students overall ranking

  6. Biology Because of its nature, Biology is a most useful starting point for many tertiary courses and careers. Nursing Physiotherapy Occupational therapy Pharmacy Food nutrition Physical education Child-care.

  7. Chemistry

  8. Chemistry Chemistry is a branch of Science that touches our lives every moment. The foods we eat, the medicines we need, how the human body works, alternative energy sources, the destruction of the ozone layer, and developing new materials are all areas in which chemists are working and are seeking answers.

  9. Chemistry Practical experiences have been designed to utilise and further develop students’ expertise in each of the following skill areas: • planning investigations • conducting investigations • communicating information and understanding • developing scientific thinking and problem-solving techniques • working individually and in teams

  10. Chemistry The 2 Unit Chemistry Course is divided into two parts: The Preliminary Course and TheHigher School Certificate Course. In the course there are mandatory Practical requirements which is assessed towards the students overall ranking

  11. Chemistry Medicine Pharmacy engineering(most fields) food technology Agriculture and horticulture environmental studies nursing and other health sciences Animal and veterinary science Because of its central place in our society and its future directions Chemistry is an important subject and is a prerequisite for many tertiary courses and careers.

  12. Physics

  13. Physics Physics seeks to explain everyday phenomena and events … the how and why things behave as they do.

  14. Physics Practical experiences have been designed to utilise and further develop students’ expertise in each of the following skill areas: • planning investigations • conducting investigations • communicating information and understanding • developing scientific thinking and problem-solving techniques • working individually and in teams

  15. Physics The 2 Unit Chemistry Course is divided into two parts: The Preliminary Course and TheHigher School Certificate Course. In the course there are mandatory Practical requirements which is assessed towards the students overall ranking

  16. Physics Physics is an important component of many vocationally directed courses at university such as Medicine Audiology optometry dentistry engineering chemistry geology biology computing electronics telecommunications and information technology. electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, marine sciences architecture surveying

  17. Senior Science

  18. Senior Science The Senior Science Course has as its emphasis science in our world. As such it does not have the same level of mathematical or scientific difficulty as other two unit Science courses. The course tries to develop through science, basic skills in living, an understanding of our relationship with the environment and an interest in science and technology that may lead to enhanced use of leisure time. Note: Students who complete the Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Studies or Physics Preliminary course but do not wish to continue on to the HSC in that course, can elect to undertake the Senior Science HSC course.

  19. Senior Science Practical experiences have been designed to utilise and further develop students’ expertise in each of the following skill areas: • planning investigations • conducting investigations • communicating information and understanding • developing scientific thinking and problem-solving techniques • working individually and in teams

  20. Senior Science The Preliminary and the Higher School Certificate Course incorporates the study of: In the course there are mandatory Practical requirements which is assessed towards the students overall ranking

  21. Senior Science The Senior Science course sets out to develop such an understanding. The course as such provides valuable insights for students seeking careers in; Physiotherapy Occupational therapy Food technology environmental management the mining industry

  22. Earth & Environmental Science

  23. Earth & Environmental Science People increasingly are realising that we have only one earth, that we are dependent on this earth and what we do has an impact on the Earth, and that therefore we need to better understand the delicate balance that exists, and how that balance can be maintained.

  24. Earth & Environmental Science Practical experiences have been designed to utilise and further develop students’ expertise in each of the following skill areas: • planning investigations • conducting investigations • communicating information and understanding • developing scientific thinking and problem-solving techniques • working individually and in teams

  25. Earth & Environmental Science The Preliminary and Higher School Certificate courses are as follows: In the course there are mandatory Practical requirements which is assessed towards the students overall ranking

  26. Earth & Environmental Science The Earth and Environmental Science course sets out to develop such an understanding. The course as such provides valuable insights for students seeking careers in • environmental management • the mining industry • earth sciences • Horticulture • landscape gardening • Bush regeneration
