Generally at Stage 1, students undertake a total of 120 credits which is equivalent to 12 single semester courses, each of 10 credits, in addition to the PLP. For those students who have not completed their PLP at their previous schools, we provide an opportunity for students to complete this off-line.All students undertake 6 subjects in each semester. For most of our students, one of these 6 subjects in the second semester is the Research Project.At Stage 1, a few subjects are offered as pairs of units, both of which are seen a prerequisites for Stage 2. Subjects in this category include English, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Maths, Physics, Chemistry and General Mathematics. However, most of the subjects offered at Year 11 are offered as single units. These provide the opportunity for students to try a range of subjects before making a commitment at Year 12. At Year 11, our program involves formal examinations in each semester apart from the Personal Learning Plan (PLP) and the Research Project. We see the examination experience as an important aspect of our program. Undertaking Year 11 examinations is also a significant element contributing to the assessment process of our Partner's Pathway Program. <br><br>Our Year 12 students generally undertake 5 subjects at Year 12. Moreover, the Year 12 experience includes a challenging set of mid-year examinations, set in part to prepare students for the final SACE examination or external assessment experience, but also as an important component of the Partner's Pathway in their own right.For most of the Year 12 subjects, there is a lecture-tutorial system. These sessions are designed to maximise opportunities to learn skills and concepts in an effective manner and at the same time, to extend and refine student knowledge and understanding through discussion, debate and practical activities.
