Recommended Prior LearningRecommendation from your Science Teacher or HOF Science, based on your performance in year 10
This course is for those students who are looking to follow a pathway that needs a comprehensive understanding of Science. The topics have been specifically designed to give students the key knowledge and understanding in Biology, Chemistry and Physics to prepare them for success in these subjects as they progress on to NCEA Level 2 in Year 12.
Taken as a double line option, each of the 3 subjects are taught by teachers with specialist knowledge in those fields. Students who are looking to take more than one of Biology, Chemistry or Physics at Year 12, will need to take this course in Year 11.
Learning Areas:
