11 SCIENCE STUDIES - 11SCST • 11 Science Studies (11SCST) offers internally assessed Achievement Standards. • Students can only continue from 11 Science Studies (11SCST) into 12 Science (12SCI); they may

gain entry into Year 11 Science (11SCI) for the following year. 11 SCIENCE SKILLS - 11SCSK • 11 Science Skills (11SCSK) offers internally assessed Achievement Standards and Unit Standards. • Students cannot progress into any of the Year 12 Science courses. • Depending on their achievement in this course, students may progress into 11 Science or Year 11

Science Studies. Year 10 students need to consider their possible career pathways and the requirements for tertiary study to ensure their subject choices are suitable. Many career options such as agriculture, horticulture, engineering, armed forces, health sciences (e.g. both animal and human including nursing, vet nursing, vet, physiotherapy, dietician etc.) require some science at Year 12 and / or Year 13. Check with the tertiary provider or the school’s Careers Advisors.
