ACTIVATING IDENTITIES AND FUTURES
Students will explore ideas related to an area of personal interest through a process of self-directed inquiry. They will draw on knowledge, skills and capabilities developed throughout their education that they can apply in this new context, and select relevant strategies to progress the learning to a resolution. The focus of the exploration aims to develop capabilities and support students in their chosen pathways.

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

DANCE
Students develop aesthetic and kinaesthetic intelligence, through using the body as an instrument for the expression and communication of ideas. They learn practical movement, choreographic and performance skills. They consider the role of dance in culture, as an art form, and as a life-enrichment opportunity connected to mental and physical wellbeing.

See highlights from the 2025 Stage 2 Dance concert here.

Note: students with an extensive dance background and current training may negotiate to attend one night per week only, with a 3.00 pm start.

GENERAL MATHEMATICS
Students develop a strong understanding of the process of mathematical modelling and its application to problem- solving in everyday workplace contexts. They examine statistical, financial and discrete models, and modelling with linear relationships and matrices.

BIOLOGY
The study of Biology is constructed around inquiry into, and application of understanding, of the diversity of life as it has evolved, the structure and function of living things, and how they interact with their own and other species and their environment.

MATHEMATICAL METHODS
Students develop their skills in calculus and statistics, exploring functions and graphs, logarithms, differentiation and integration. It includes the study of discrete and continuous random variables, the Bernoulli and binomial distributions, and confidence intervals for population mean and proportion.
