Course Expectations
In this course you will explore traditional and contemporary photography, learn to use DSLR cameras, and develop digital skills using Adobe software. You will create original photographic work through practical projects informed by the study of established photographers.
The course encourages independent learning, creative risk-taking, and personal choice. You will build skills in time management, problem solving, digital literacy, and self-discipline that support success at school and beyond.
You are expected to experiment, take risks, reflect on your learning, and participate respectfully in class critiques. All work will be presented through a personal website and organised in a Photography folder in Google Drive, following class guidelines.
Completion of classwork and assessments outside of class is required to meet the Achievement Standards.

Body of Work
Body of Work
Photography is an integrated course. In Term 1, you will learn key photographic skills, then use these to develop your own photographic work based on a theme you choose for the year, this is call a body of work.
You will work on one theme across the entire year.
Choose a theme that is personally meaningful and accessible. Your theme should be based on your interests and use subject matter that's easy to find and photograph. Working with a topic you care about allows you to explore different photographic approaches, techniques, materials, and artistic influences.
Because the course is structured as integrated units with regular checkpoints, resubmissions are not available.
Note: In consultation with parents, Deans, and Senior Leadership, students may be moved to an internal-only programme if required.
Integrated Achievement Standards, internal into external
What does this mean?
The course has 3 achievement standards:
2 internal assessments
1 external portfolio (folio)
All three units are connected and build toward your final external portfolio, based on one theme you'll develop throughout the year.
Assessment Structure:
Each standard is assessed at a scheduled time during the year
Work from one unit can contribute to multiple assessments
Because the course uses integrated units with regular formative checkpoints, there are no resubmission opportunities
