English
In Year 7 students will be completing the Western Australian Curriculum course for English. The English curriculum is built around the three interrelated strands. These strands are Language, Literature and Literacy. For further information, please contact the HOLA (Head of Learning Area) of this department.
Mathematics
Students follow the Western Australian Curriculum for Mathematics which contains work from the Number & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry, and Statistics & Probability strands. For further information, please contact the HOLA (Head of Learning Area) of this department.
Science
The three strands of the curriculum, Science Inquiry Skills, Science Understanding and Science as a Human Endeavour are interrelated, and their content is taught in an integrated way. In Year 7, students explore the diversity of life on Earth, develop their understanding of the role of classification, and develop models to represent and analyse the flow of energy and matter through ecosystems. They also consider multiple forces when explaining changes in an object’s motion and explore the notion of renewable and non-renewable resources. In addition, they investigate relationships in the Earth-Sun-Moon system. Students develop an understanding of the scientific method and consider the role of science in decision making processes. For further information, please contact the HOLA (Head of Learning Area) of this department.
Humanities and Social Sciences (HaSS)
The Humanities and Social Sciences enable students to develop their critical thinking and skill application ready for life after school. We focus on skills such as questioning, research, analysis, evaluation, communication, and reflection through investigation of events, developments, issues, and phenomena in both historical and contemporary contexts. The four subject areas covered in HASS are Geography, Economics, History and Politics and Law. For further information, please contact the HOLA (Head of Learning Area) of this department.
Health Education
Students are provided with the opportunity to identify strategies to promote their own and other’s health, safety, and wellbeing in different situations and across different environments. Students will identify the health and social benefits of physical activity and associate the importance of physical activity as a preventative health strategy. The importance of positive relationships on health and wellbeing will be explored including appropriate protocols in face to face and online interactions. For further information, please contact the HOLA (Head of Learning Area) of this department.
