AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Students examine the parts that make up the power, electrical, braking and steering systems of cars, gaining skills and knowledge in maintenance and repair. They service vehicles, disassemble and reassemble small engines, and conduct fault finding and repair in automotive electrical circuits.

HEALTH SCIENCE
Students develop their knowledge of scientific principles and concepts, the ability to use that knowledge to identify questions, issues, opportunities, and challenges, and the capacity to acquire new knowledge through their own investigations. There are opportunities to learn from professionals working in the Health Science field.

RESEARCH PROJECT
Students develop a research question based on an area of interest. learning about their topic through primary and secondary research processes. They produce a folio, showing evidence of capability development and planning. Students create an outcome, then reflect on and evaluate the effectiveness of their decisions and processes.

ANCIENT STUDIES
Students learn about the history, literature, society, and culture of ancient civilisations, which may include those of Asia-Australia, the Americas, Europe, and Western Asia/North Africa, and the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome. Students also explore the ideas and innovations that shape and are shaped by societies.

Students explore acting techniques and apply skills gained in a project of their choice. Drama also provides the flexibility to explore other areas such as production, direction or script design.

EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
This course has been developed as part of the Geofutures program in consultation with Beach Energy. Students explore ways in which Earth materials and processes generate environments, including habitats, where organisms live; the natural processes and human influences that induce changes in physical environments; and ways in which organisms respond to those changes.

NUTRITION
Students explore up-to-date scientific information on the role of nutrients in the body as well as on social and environmental issues related to nutrition. The study of nutrition assists students to reinforce or modify their own diets and lifestyle habits to maximise their health outcomes.

PHYSICS
Students develop their knowledge of the principles and concepts of physics to formulate questions and hypotheses, and identify opportunities and challenges. They examine the physical world, including motion and relativity, electricity and magnetism, and light and atoms.

WOMEN'S STUDIES
Students look at the world from the perspectives of women and examine the construction of gender and how being a woman or a man may influence an individual's experiences and expectations. They explore the diversity of women's experiences and their relationships to others. They also study gender representation in cultural texts.

The subject provides pathways into mathematical science, engineering, computer science, physical sciences, surveying, economics and commerce.

CHEMISTRY
Students develop an understanding of the physical world that enables them to be questioning, reflective, and critical thinkers. Students can use chemistry to explore and explain their experiences of phenomena around them. Chemistry is organised so that each intended learning outcome is related to a key idea or concept. Within the study of the chemical ideas and concepts, students develop their chemistry investigation skills through practical investigations and critical analysis of chemistry issues.

CHILD STUDIES
Students learn about children's growth and development from conception to 8 years and critically examine attitudes and values about parenting and care-giving and gain an understanding of the growth and development of children.

MATHEMATICAL METHODS
This course explores topics from calculus and statistics. It involves working with functions and graphs and requires use of graphics calculators.

MEDIA STUDIES
