Biology 2

In Biology 2, students will cover three modules:
Module 1: Science Inquiry and Science as a Human Endeavour Module 2: Cell Biology Module 3: Multicellular Organisms and Environmental Interactions
Module 1 will be delivered concurrently with Modules 2 and 3, where students will engage in practical experiences to enhance their learning of the topics in these modules. Students will also consider how the concepts in Modules 2 and 3 are central to society.

Transdisciplinary Science 2

Innovative and critical thinking in science underpins understanding of the natural world and the discovery of new ways of doing and thinking. Science is continually refining and expanding knowledge and stimulating new questions for future investigation. Transdisciplinary Science Level 2 provides a powerful platform for learners to develop their capabilities, to think creatively, work collaboratively, be innovative and prepare for Level 3 science courses. In practice, most modern and applied science flows between scientific disciplines and is transdisciplinary by nature.

Physical Sciences - Foundation 2

This course aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge in Physical Sciences to apply basic principles to explain observations of the properties and behaviour of matter and natural phenomena that occur in the real world.

Physical Sciences 3

Students studying Physical Sciences will be introduced to the models and theories used to explain physical and chemical concepts. Students will undertake practical experiments and use their understanding of the physical sciences to examine global issues in our environment and society. This course is required for further study in Chemistry 4 or Physics 4.

Biology 3

Students study the structure and function of cells and the processes within cells that support their function. Students study plant and human systems and how the body defends against disease. Students study how organisms survive in their environment and pass on their genes. This is a practical subject and students also learn how to design experiments. Students discuss current biological issues, how they impact society and design solutions for the future. This subject is recommended for Year 12 students.

Chemistry 4

Chemistry is the study of materials and substances, and the transformations they undergo through interactions and transfer of energy. Studying Chemistry provides a student the opportunity to explore key concepts, models and theories through active inquiry into phenomena and through contexts that exemplify the role of chemistry and chemists in society.

Physics 4

Physics attempts to explain the universe in which we live through observation, experimentation and mathematical modelling. It encompasses a wide range of topics from the fundamental particles inside an atom, to theories and questions about space and time. Students will learn about concepts such as Newton's Laws, electromagnetism, atomic physics, the properties of waves and will be introduced to the particle nature of light.

ACM20121 - Certificate II in Animal Care

This qualification provides the skills and knowledge for roles in the animal care and management industry. In this industry, workers provide care for animals in workplaces such as: animal shelters or boarding/day care facilities
