RESEARCH PROJECT
In the Research Project students choose a research topic that is based on an area of interest, and one or more capabilities (Literacy, Numeracy, Information and Communication Technology Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability, Ethical Understanding and Intercultural Understanding). Students use the research framework as a guide to developing their research and applying knowledge andskills specific to their research topic. They create an outcome, evaluate the research processes used and reflect on the relevance of the chosen capability (or capabilities) to themselves and their research project.

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.

CREATIVE ARTS - STAGE, SCREEN AND DRAMA
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
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.

GENDER 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.

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.

BIOLOGY
Students investigate biological systems and their interactions, from the perspectives of energy, control, structure and function, change, and exchange in microscopic cellular structures and processes, through to macroscopic ecosystem dynamics. They apply their understanding of the interconnectedness of biological systems to evaluate the impact of human activity on the natural world.

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.

ENGLISH LITERARY STUDIES
Students read a range of extended texts and a number of shorter texts from past, contemporary, and everyday contexts. They focus on the skills and strategies of critical thinking needed to interpret texts.

LEGAL STUDIES
Students learn about the Australian legal system from the local level to its global connections, its origins and functions. Students learn how laws are made and enforced and the legal issues affecting Australian citizens.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Students learn and apply skills in digital photography, design and photo editing software.

SPECIALIST MATHEMATICS
Students gain the insight, understanding, knowledge, and skills to follow pathways that will lead them to become designers and makers of technology. 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.

FOOD AND HOSPITALITY
Students learn about the impact of the food and hospitality industry on Australian society and examine the contemporary and changing nature of the industry. They develop relevant knowledge and skills as consumers and/or as industry workers.

PSYCHOLOGY
The study of psychology enables students to understand their own behaviours and the behaviours of others. Psychological knowledge can be applied to improve outcomes and the quality of experience in various areas of life, such as education, intimate relationships, child rearing, employment and leisure.

VIDEO PRODUCTION
Students gain practical skills and knowledge in the craft of film making. They learn how to shoot, capture, edit and distribute video using consumer and industry standard equipment and software.
