Year 10 Elective Subject Costs 2021 Students in Lower School are required to meet educational outcomes in a variety of learning areas. Elective courses in Lower School enable students to meet these outcomes in The Arts and Technologies. ASHS students have access to some specialised subjects which are resource rich but expensive to run. Students do not need to enrol in high cost electives to meet the outcome of their course and there are alternative courses available, as part of a student’s Voluntary Contributions. The cost of each subject is made up of either a 100% Voluntary Contribution or a combination of a Voluntary Contribution and a Compulsory Charge. Subjects that do not incur a Compulsory Charge are shaded GREY in this selection book. Subject prices are indicative only are subject to change.

The payment of a Subject Charge is compulsory. Parents/caregivers should consider their financial situation prior to enrolling in high cost courses. Failure to pay for a high cost elective will result in your child being placed into a lower cost elective. Payment arrangements are available to all families. Parents with a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card will have access to the Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) which will provide funding to assist with the payment of School Voluntary Contributions for Lower School students. The school will supply further information about this in Term 4 of 2020. Applications need to be made to the school during Term 1, 2021 to be eligible.

It is expected that all School Charges will be paid in full prior to the end of Term 3 each year.

Please Note: Albany Senior High School uses the services of a Debt Collection agency to recover all outstanding Charges.

LEARNING AREA: MATHEMATICS COMPULSORY COURSE In Years 7 to 10, students will be undertaking study in the following strands of the Western Australian Curriculum (Mathematics), as set out by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA). The proficiencies reinforce the significance of working mathematically within the content and describe how the content is explored. They provide the language to build in the developmental aspects of the learning of mathematics. For detailed content descriptions in each of the content strands above, refer to the latest version of the WA version of the Australian Curriculum from the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) at www.scsa.wa.edu.au. In Years 8, 9 and 10, students will be placed in classes following three pathways (Pathways 1, 2 and 3) which are best matched to their prior achievement in Mathematics, based on teacher recommendation and the student’s class ranking. There are opportunities for students to move between classes during the year, dependent on their level of achievement on assessment tasks and subject to maximum class sizes. In all cases, consultation between the Mathematics teacher and the Head of Learning Area (Mathematics) takes place before student movement occurs. For students in Years 7-10 there will be flexibility to allow students to move between pathways, usually at the end of Term 1, Semester 1 and at other times throughout the year, on the recommendation of the student’s Mathematics teacher. This is done in consultation with the Head of Learning Area (Mathematics) and based on the student’s results on assessment tasks. Classes for a particular year are based on the students’ level of achievement demonstrated in the previous year.

LEARNING AREA: ENGLISH COMPULSORY COURSE Reliable sources report that English is the most enjoyable subject at school! Okay, so maybe English teachers are a little biased in their view. English is, however, a most thought provoking and interesting subject. English is organised into three interrelated strands that support students’ growing understanding and use of Standard Australian English. Together, the three strands focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills in Writing and Creating, Reading and Viewing, and Listening and Speaking Outcomes. The three strands are:

Language: knowing about the English language

Literature: understanding, appreciating, responding to, analysing and creating literature

Literacy: expanding the repertoire of English usage Most people are very familiar with the Reading and Writing Outcomes in English, but Viewing, Speaking and Listening are possibly less familiar. Viewing provides students with the opportunity to analyse visual texts such as; television news, television drama, film, works of art, graphic design, digital and print advertising, while speaking and listening facilitates the study of aural texts as well as encouraging students to develop and demonstrate effective communication skills both as speakers and listeners. As students move through their schooling the texts they encounter for analysis and the texts they compose increase in complexity. Year 10 students are streamed into a course pathway that best suits their aspirations and abilities for successful completion of Year 11 and 12. Results in Semester One and Two tests and examinations, along with class based assessments, are used when recommending pathways for the Senior School English courses. It is advisable to be aware of the difference in the courses offered after Year 10 and the entry requirements of each course. Students are encouraged to begin on their chosen academic pathway as soon as possible to ensure the highest possible chance of success. Students and parents should also be aware that Year 10 students must demonstrate prerequisite levels of achievement before entering Senior School ATAR courses. YEAR 10 Pathway 1 Pathway 1 is intended for students who are likely to pursue an ATAR pathway in Year 11 and 12. A minimum B grade in Year 9 is recommended for students who choose this pathway. Pathway 2 This pathway is intended for students who wish to pursue a General or VET pathway in Senior School.

LEARNING AREA: SCIENCE COMPULSORY COURSE

In Year 10 students continue to study a range of science subjects including chemistry, biology, physics and earth & space sciences. Science inquiry skills and communication underpin many of the concepts covered in the content-based strands.

Students will be streamed into one of two pathways on the basis of their achievement and ability in Year 9 Science courses.

ATAR Pathway

This pathway is intended for student who are likely to pursue an ATAR pathway in Year 11 and 12. Year 10 students must demonstrate prerequisite levels of achievement before entering Senior School ATAR courses. For science based ATAR courses minimum of B grade is recommended in Year 10.

General Pathway

This pathway is intended for students who are likely to pursue a VET or General studies in Years 11 and 12. Whilst the general content areas of Science are similar the degree of difficulty, range of concepts and the workload are reduced. Students in this pathway are given a separate grade for that pathway that reflects their effort and achievement in this general pathway course.

HEALTH EDUCATION ASSESSMENT: Personal, Social and Community Health Strand Students in Year 10 need to maintain a positive outlook on their world and to learn strategies to assist in taking control of their future. Further development of students' capacity for positive self-talk, goal-setting, perseverance and optimistic thinking is important in these years. Students should recognise and use family, school, online and community resources to seek help for themselves and others when support is needed. Students also explore how societal attitudes and values reinforce stereotypes and role expectations and how they affect young peoples’ sense of self and shape the choices they make in relation to health behaviours, health care options, help-seeking strategies and physical activity participation. Students will investigate a range of health issues relevant to young people including mental health, sexual health, healthy eating, personal safety, body image and behaviours associated with substance use. As they do so, students will develop knowledge, understanding and skills (such as early help seeking strategies, assertive behaviours, conflict resolution, emergency care and first aid management skills) to appropriately respond to a range of situations where their own or others' wellbeing may be at risk. In Health Education critical and creative thinking skills will be developed through learning experiences that encourage the seeking of solutions to health issues through the design of effective and appropriate strategies for promoting personal and community health and wellbeing. Health Education enhances ICT learning by assisting students to effectively and safely access online health information and services in order to manage their own health and wellbeing. Students further develop their understanding of the role ICTs plays in young peoples’ lives and relationships. They will explore the nature of these tools and the implications for establishing and managing relationships in the twenty-first century.
