Year 11 – 2015 VCE Subject Selection MEL

1

SUBJECT SELECTION At the end of term 3 in year 10, students are expected to have made a preliminary choice. Final course and subject selection decision is made by the College depending on subject availability and ability of student in that subject. Students will not be permitted to change subject selections after the first four weeks of year 11. Even then, both subject teachers and the VCE Coordinator must approve changes. Change in year 12 is impossible Students should first find out the pre-requisite requirements of the University courses of study for which they intend to seek admission before making subject selections for year 11. After satisfying prerequisite requirements, students should base their subject selection on two factors – ability and interest.

SCHOOL-ASSESSED COURSEWORK School-assessed coursework (SACs) are appropriate learning activities, which enable students to develop the knowledge and skills described in the set of outcomes for each unit. The activities are tasks that a student would be expected to be doing in relation to what they are studying. These activities may include: practical work, written reports, essays, oral presentations, poster and multimedia presentations, assignments, folio of exercises, modelling activities, use of computer software and/or applications, tests, etc. At year 11 all students, carry out School Assessed Coursework. At Al Siraat semester examinations are also considered to be SACs. All SACs are graded and a piece of work that fails to meet the minimum acceptable standard will be reported as `N’ (Not satisfactory). If the work is not completed or submitted `NA’ (Not Assessed) will appear on the report. Students will be provided with a list of all SACs for each study and the due dates at the start of each semester. !

!!BIOLOGY UNIT!1:!UNITY!AND!DIVERSITY! ! !!!!(VCAA!Code:!BI011)!UNIT!2:!ORGANISMS!AND!THEIR!ENVIRONMENT!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(VCAA!Code:!BI022)!This is the study of organisms and the complex interactions that sustain life on Earth. Unit 1 focuses on the cell as the structural and functional unit of the whole organism, it investigates the needs of individual cells, how specialized structures carry out cellular activities, and how survival of cells depends on their ability to maintain a dynamic balance between their internal and external environments. There is great diversity among organisms as well as similarities and students will explore the diversity of organisms and look for patterns of similarities and differences in biological processes. Unit 2 examines the relationship between organisms and their environments along with the study of adaptations (structural, physiological and behavioural) of organisms that enable them to exploit environmental resources. Areas covered are cell theory, cell structure and function, biochemistry, digestion and nutrition, physiology and reproduction, photosynthesis, respiration and energy relationships, communities and ecosystems, relationships within ecosystems, populations, human impact, ecological techniques and option C – cells and energy. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INFORMATION!TECHNOLOGY!!

UNIT 1: IT IN ACTION (VCAA Code: IT011)

UNIT 2: IT PATHWAYS (VCAA Code: IT012) !This study focuses on the processing of data and the management of information and information systems to meet a range of individual and societal purposes.

The rapid pace of development in information and communications technology (ICT) is having a major influence on virtually all aspects of society. Not only does ICT provide the capacity to change how tasks and activities are undertaken, but it also creates new opportunities in work, study, recreation, and in relationships. Social relations and cultural values influence the way ICT is used.

With appropriate knowledge and skills, students will be equipped to make use of ICT and make informed personal and workplace choices about future developments and directions in this exciting and challenging field. Innovative approaches to the potential uses of ICT are developed, and students are encouraged to orient themselves towards the future, with an awareness of the implications of these uses.

The study of Information Technology may provide pathways to further studies in IT and to careers in ICT-based areas. It may also prepare students for programs that require either an IT-related subject or for a vast range of careers that require efficient and effective use of ICT.
