Art - Unit 1

This unit focuses on realising ideas through the exploration of techniques, selected art form(s) and/or media. Students are introduced to a range of materials, skills and concepts through a process of investigation and discussion. Specific tasks are set to direct and facilitate the process of investigation.

Exploration and research is undertaken to support a range of visual solutions. Students will also explore the social dimensions of art with reference to the importance of the social setting of artworks, the social functions that art can serve and the ways in which social issues are interpreted in past and present-day art.

Art - Unit 2

This semester is one of exploring ideas and issues centered around art and the individual. This was incorporated around the study of painting and digital photography.

Outcome 1
On completion of this unit the student should be able to demonstrate technical and artistic development through an exploration of selected media, materials, techniques and working methods.

Outcome 2
On completion of this unit the student should be able to interpret and discuss artistic identity with reference to selected artworks.

English - Unit 1

The focus of this unit is on the reading of a range of texts, particularly narrative and persuasive texts, in order to comprehend, appreciate and analyse the ways in which texts are constructed and interpreted. Students will develop competence and confidence in creating written, oral and multimodal texts. The term ‘set text’ refers to texts chosen by the school for the achievement of Outcome 1.

English - Unit 2

The focus of this unit is on reading and responding to an expanded range of text types and genres in order to analyse ways in which they are constructed and interpreted, and on the development of competence and confidence in creating written, oral or multimodal texts.

Students develop skills in the analysis of persuasive language in media texts as well as the abilty to present a reasoned point of view on a current issue in the media.

English Literature - Unit 1

This unit focuses on the ways literary texts represent human experience and the reading practices students develop to deepen their understanding of a text. Students respond to a range of texts personally, critically and creatively. This variety of approaches to reading invites questions about the ideas and concerns of the text. While the emphasis is on students' close engagement with language to explore texts, students also inform their understanding with knowledge of the conventions associated with different forms of text, for example poetry, prose, drama and/or non-print texts.

The Areas of Study include:
1. Readers And Their Responses.
2. Ideas And Concerns In Texts.
3. Interpreting Non-Print Texts.

English Literature - Unit 2

The focus of this unit is on students' critical and creative responses to texts. Students deepen their understanding of their responses to aspects of texts such as the style of narrative, the characters, the language and structure of the text. Students extend their exploration of the ideas and concerns of the text. They understand the ways their own culture and the cultures represented in the text can influence their interpretations and shape different meanings. Students make comparisons between texts and identify some of the relationships that exist through features such as the language, characterisation and ideas.

The Areas of Study include :
1. The Text, the Reader and Their Contexts.
2. Comparing Texts.

Health and Human Developement - Unit 1

This unit provides an opportunity for students to explore the physical, social, emotional and intellectual changes that occur and the inherited and environmental factors that influence health and development. Students also identify a range of challenges, and then investigate one of these challenges in more detail. Students then justify recommendations for action that could optimise the health and development of youth.

Health and Human Developement - Unit 2

This unit there is a focus on the role that families, communities and governments play in optimising the health of individuals across the lifespan. There is an exploration of differences in health and developmental outcomes experienced by some social and cultural groups, despite relatively high levels of community and government involvement. There is a particular focus on indigenous, rural and remote communities and Australians from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

Information Technology - Unit 1

This unit focuses on how individuals use, and can be affected by, information and communications technology (ICT) in their daily lives. Students acquire and apply a range of knowledge and skills to create information that persuades, educates or entertains. They also explore how their lives are affected by ICT and strategies for influencing how ICT is applied. Students develop an understanding of the role technology plays in inputting, processing, storing and communicating data and information. In each outcome of this unit students use software to create solutions and information products.

Information Technology - Unit 2

This unit focuses on how individuals and organisations, such as sporting clubs, charitable institutions, small businesses and government agencies use ICT. Students acquire and apply a range of knowledge and skills to create solutions and information products that meet personal and clientsí needs. They also examine how networked information systems are used within organisations. Students also explore career pathways that involve using knowledge and skills associated with programming or scripting languages.

General Mathematics - Unit 1

The coursework covers the core area of Data with an emphasis on Univariate Data and the selected modules of Shape and measurement, Sequences & Series and Networks. The mastery of the graphing calculator is essential as well as familiarity with problem solving techniques.

General Mathematics - Unit 2

The course has consisted of a range of mathematical topics that aim to further improve student's skills with numbers, graphs, logic and problem solving. Areas covered have included Bivariate Data, Trigonometry, Linear relations & Equations and Linear Graphs and Modelling.

Mathematical Methods - Unit 1

The areas of study for Unit 1 are 'Functions and graphs', 'Algebra', 'Rates of change and calculus' and 'Probability'.
By the end of semester 1, students are expected to be able to apply techniques, routines and processes involving rational and real arithmetic, algebraic manipulation, equation solving, graph sketching, differentiation and integration with and without the use of technology.

Mathematical Methods - Unit 2

The areas of study for Unit 2 are 'Functions and graphs', 'Algebra', 'Rates of change and calculus', and 'Probability'. By the end of Unit 2, students are expected to be able to apply techniques, routines and processes involving rational and real arithmetic, algebraic manipulation, equation solving, graph sketching, differentiation and integration with and without the use of technology, as applicable.

Psychology - Unit 1

The focus of this unit is to clarify the scientific approach to psychology; to identify the characteristics of pro-social and anti-social behaviour; and to outline the key developmental stages in perception, cognition and understanding of self, describing the main theories in these areas.

Psychology - Unit 2

In unit 2 Psychology students learn about different methods and models that describe and explain human behaviour. This unit focuses on internal physical, chemical and biological processes that inform behaviour. This context is based on the understanding of neuronal structures and the nervous system at the basic level. Methods of studying the differences in behaviour between people are evaluated. The study of individual behaviour in social situations is explored where behaviours can be influenced by attitudes resulting from environmental influences. Measurement tools applied to studies of attitude are investigated.

Visual Communication and Design - Unit 1

The main purpose of the unit is to develop instrumental drawing, explore freehand and direct observational drawing of objects. Students explore design elements and principles to resolve specific purposes. Students study how the design process is applied in the production of a visual communications.
Visual Communication and Design - Unit 2

Visual Communication and Design - Unit 2

Students develop practical skills by generating images and developing them through freehand and instrumental drawing, they look at ways in which ideas and information are communicated visually exploring through the analysis others work. The design process is applied to visual communication projects.
