The Syllabus

The H2 Computing curriculum provides students with a broad understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of computing, and a systemic understanding of how hardware and software work together in computing solutions. The syllabus focuses on the application of data structures and algorithms to process data through computer programs that are specifically designed and developed to solve authentic problems. Students will be exposed to authentic real-world contexts through hands-on practical assignments and projects in the realisation of computer programs from algorithms. Students will learn algorithm design and programming skills as a critical element of developing higher-order thinking skills. Through these learning experiences, the subject will provide a broad-based foundation for further studies in computing and other related fields.
