Year 10 Course Outlines
Semester 2 - 2016
Dear Parent/Caregiver
The information contained in this booklet outlines the key curriculum content and assessment which will be
covered for students at Kinross College for Semester 2 2016.
The exact timing of assessments may vary from this outline, however the general curriculum plan will remain
in place and students will be notified in advance of any prospective changes.
I would suggest that you read through the information with your child and help them to prepare for the
heaviest assessment periods. This could be done by working out a study plan and creating a space at home
where completion of work and study can be conducted away from the hustle and bustle of family life.
In order to ensure each student is catered for, all students have been allocated a TAG teacher. Students will
see their TAG (Teacher Advisory Group) teacher, in TAG class for a 40 minute session each Thursday, as well
as at specially organised times or events. The TAG teacher is often the best ‘first point of contact’ in many
cases regarding your child on either a pastoral or academic front. Alternatively, you could contact relevant
subject teachers directly. Year Coordinators can also be a useful contact. The Year 10 Coordinator is Miss
Melissa Posener, who can be reached on 9306 6000 or [email protected].
In the booklet, nearly all subjects offered to Year 10 students have been included. Some additional outlines
will be added in the near future. Please note that semester-based courses may have less than 100% of
assessment schedule, due to ongoing assessment next term. Updates to curriculum information will be
provided via an e-bulleting link as they occur.
If you have any curriculum queries, please contact the relevant Head of Faculty.

SCIENCE COURSE OUTLINE SUMMARY 2016
The Science curriculum for 2016 will be delivered in 16 week blocks, with most topic rotations occurring half
way through. For example, three Year 9 classes will study Biology and the other three will study Chemistry.
After 7-8 weeks they will swap topics. This time frame allows for sufficient depth in a course, whilst also
providing students with sufficient breadth. It also maximises the resources available to staff teaching each
topic. Classes will continue to run right up to the holiday break, with a quick revision at the start of the next
term, followed by continuation of the topic, thus maximising effective teaching time.
Two full rotations of 16 weeks allows for most of Term 4 to be negotiated with students to best reflect their
area of interest and need. For example Year 10 students wishing to study more difficult Science subjects in
Year 11 will be encouraged to select extension classes. A focus on process skills can also occur during this
time. Students in Years 7-9 will study courses that will assist their learning in the following year. e g Year 8s
will study Biology (body parts) to assist their Year 9 Biology course (Body system interactions).
Please encourage your child to retain their notes over the holidays for study purposes.
ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING
Process skills will be assessed continuously throughout the year. Knowledge and understanding of specific
Science fields will depend on the topics being taught in each rotation.
The Semester 1 report will reflect achievement from the first rotation (i e. the first 16 weeks of the year).
The Semester 2 report will reflect achievement in the second rotation.
If you have any questions regarding your child’s education in Science please contact me at the College on
9306 6000.

Explanatory Notes
The Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) curriculum addresses the National Curriculum across the
following Learning Areas:
1. Geography
2. Civics and Citizenship
3. Economics
4. History
The depth and breadth of the curriculum is such that a focus is placed on four main units of study;
Geography Civics and Citizenship, Economics and Business and History.
A range of assessments will be used and include the following:
• Exams
• Tests and quizzes
• In class assessments (written responses, activities etc.)
• Assignments
• Peer assessments
• Skill assessment (research etc.)
• Mini research projects
To support student learning a number of thinking tools are taught. These tools might include: De Bono’s
Thinking Hats, Multiple Intelligences, Cooperative Learning strategies, graphic organisers, mind maps,
Bloom’s taxonomy and Venn diagrams to name a few.
Critical and creative thinking underpins the teaching and learning programs developed in this learning area,
catering for a number of learning styles.
Portfolio Use
All HASS classes will use a portfolio as a revision tool and evidence of a student’s grade. The pieces chosen
for the portfolio will include a wide range of samples, from their workbook marking key to assignments and
tests.
Students will be responsible for the organisation and maintenance of their portfolios. As such marks are
awarded for this effort. Teachers will annotate student work where appropriate and provide timely
constructive feedback. It is expected that all students from Years 7 to 10 will have a portfolio at the
beginning of the year. As they are large items, they may be kept in the classroom.
If you have any queries regarding your child’s education in HASS, please contact me at the College on
9306 6000 or at [email protected].
