In Year 10 Science, students will study Chemistry, Physics and Biology. They will select one of these three as a focus area, and complete a semester-length course in it, allowing them to explore it in greater detail. 

The remaining two Science subjects will be taught as single term subjects.  

When choosing their area of focus, it is recommended that students select a subject they are considering for their VCE. However, it is not required that a student should have completed a particular subject as a focus area in order to undertake it at VCE level. 

Assessment & Exam Format

In both semesters students will complete the same style of assessment

• One test

• One research activity

• One experimental report

• One examination on all the topics studied that term.
