GRADE 11 & 12 Curriculum
The Grade 11 and 12 curriculum consists of English as a compulsory subject, plus a selection of 5 other subjects.
English
(Compulsory subject)
Students explore language forms, features and structures of texts in a range of personal, social, historical, cultural and workplace contexts. They respond to and compose texts to extend experience, access information and assess its reliability, and synthesise the knowledge gained from a range of sources to fulfil a variety of purposes.
Maths Standard
The Mathematics Standard course is highly contextualised and provides opportunities for creative thinking, communication and problem-solving. Students learn to use a range of techniques and tools, including relevant technologies, in order to develop solutions to a wide variety of problems relating to their present and future needs and aspirations.
Maths Advanced
This course includes the whole of the 2 unit course, but a deeper treatment of common material is appropriate for Advanced students. It is intended for students who have demonstrated a mastery of the skills included in the Grade 10 Mathematics course and who are interested in the study of further skills and ideas in Mathematics. The course is intended to give these students a thorough understanding of, and competence in, aspects of Mathematics including many which are applicable to the real world.
Physics
The study of Physics aims to enable students to develop an appreciation and understanding of the application of the principles of physics, and of the theories, laws, models, systems and structures of physics. It also enables students to apply Working Scientifically skills processes to examine physics models and practices and their applications.
Chemistry
The study of Chemistry in Stage 6 enables students to develop an appreciation and understanding of materials and their properties, structures, interactions and related applications. Through applying Working Scientifically skills processes, the course aims to examine how chemical theories, models and practices are used and developed.
Biology
The study of Biology in Stage 6 enables students to develop an appreciation and understanding of biological concepts that are used to explore the diversity of life, from a molecular to a biological systems level, and the interactions between living things and the environments in which they live. Through applying Working Scientifically skills processes and the use of biological technologies, the course aims to examine how biological practices are developed and used.
Design & Technology
Design and Technology has a unique focus on creativity, innovation and the successful implementation of innovative ideas. Students will investigate the importance of evaluation, the role of computer-based technologies, management, communication and collaborative design, as well as exploring current and emerging technologies. Through the completion of quality design projects, students are provided with the opportunity to develop specific production and manufacturing skills. This course will be offered if a sufficient number of students elect it within their subject selections.
Software Design and Development
This course provides students with the opportunity to develop skills in designing and developing software solutions, project management and communication. It does this by looking at the different ways in which software can be developed, the tools that can be used to assist in this process and by considering the interaction between software and other components of computer systems. Students apply a systematic approach to develop and document software solutions using a variety of data structures and language facilities.
Information Processes & Technology
Information systems and the role they play in society have increased in significance in recent years. The raw ingredients – information, information technology and participants – combine to form information processes within information systems.
The area of information systems has provided major jobs growth for both women and men in recent years. Moreover, fields which have not traditionally been associated with computers – but in which processing information is a vital function – are emerging as exciting new areas of employment. These include music, the arts, science and technology as well as new and fast-growing industries that use multimedia.
Business Studies
Contemporary business issues and case studies are embedded in the course to provide a stimulating and relevant framework for students to apply to problems encountered in the business environment. Business Studies fosters intellectual, social and moral development by assisting students to think critically about the role of business and its ethical responsibilities to society.
Visual Arts
This course provides students with the opportunity to develop their own artworks, culminating in a ‘Body of Work’. Students engage in critical and historical study of the artworld to investigate artists, artworks, worlds and audiences from a range of cultural, political, historical and social perspectives and use these to inform their own artmaking practices.
Modern History
The Modern History course provides students with opportunities to develop and apply their understanding of methods and issues involved in the investigation of modern history. Students have the opportunity to engage in the study of a range of people, ideas, movements, events and developments that have shaped the modern world.
Geography
The Preliminary course investigates biophysical and human geography and develops students’ knowledge and understanding about the spatial and ecological dimensions of geography. Enquiry methodologies are used to investigate the unique characteristics of our world through fieldwork, geographical skills and the study of contemporary geographical issues.
Personal Development Health & Physical Education
The Preliminary course examines a range of areas that underpin health and physical activity. This includes how people think about health and physical activity, the management of personal health and the basis for how the body moves. Students have the opportunity to select from a range of practical options in areas such as first aid, outdoor recreation, composing and performing, and fitness choices.
Sport Lifestyle & Recreation

It examines an individual’s rights and responsibilities, how disputes are resolved and examines a contemporary issue concerning the individual and technology. Students have the opportunity to investigate issues that illustrate how the law operates in practice. This is achieved by investigating, analysing and synthesising legal information and investigating legal issues from a variety of perspectives.

This course explores issues within an early childhood context and considers these in relation to the students themselves, their family and the community.

There is a strong emphasis on the problems and issues in a contemporary Australian economic context within the course.

The Food Technology course provides opportunities for students to explore and develop food-related interests and skills. Students organise, implement and manage production processes in a range of food environments, and understand systems that regulate food availability, safety and quality. Recipes and processing techniques are trialled and adapted to develop food products which are assessed for suitability and end use. Students examine influences on the supply of food, and issues associated with food safety, security and sustainability.
