Teacher:
Biology 1&2 Mr Trent COCKS

In this unit, students examine the cell as the structural and functional unit of life, from the single-celled to the multicellular organism, including the
requirements for sustaining cellular processes. Students focus on cell growth, replacement and death and the role of stem cells in differentiation,
specialisation and renewal of cells. They explore how systems function through cell specialisation in vascular plants and animals and consider the
role homeostatic mechanisms play in maintaining an animal’s internal environment.

Chemistry 1&2 Ms Sofia IQBAL

The development and use of materials for specific purposes is an important human endeavour. In this unit, students investigate the chemical
structures and properties of a range of materials, including covalent compounds, metals, ionic compounds and polymers. They are introduced to
ways that chemical quantities are measured. They consider how manufacturing innovations lead to more sustainable products being produced for
society through the use of renewable raw materials and a transition from a linear economy towards a circular economy.

English as an additional Language 1&2 Ms Perri LALOR

The focus of this unit is on the reading of a range of texts, particularly narrative and persuasive texts, in order to comprehend, appreciate and
analyse the ways in which texts are constructed and interpreted. Students will develop competence and confidence in creating written, oral and
multi-modal texts.

Psychology 1&2 Mrs Sarah OCCHIPINTI

In this unit students examine the complex nature of psychological development, including situations where psychological development may not
occur as expected. Students examine the contribution that classical and contemporary knowledge from Western and non-Western societies,
including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, has made to an understanding of psychological development and to the development of
psychological models and theories used to predict and explain the development of thoughts, emotions and behaviours. They investigate the
structure and functioning of the human brain and the role it plays in mental processes and behaviour and explore brain plasticity and the influence
that brain damage may have on a person’s psychological functioning.
