Year 11 Sport Science SIE (11SSC)
11SSC Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr R. Henty.
Pre-requisitesHave done the Year 9 and 10 SIE Programme, or sought Director of SIE approval to enter new as a Year 11 student.
Year 11 Sport in Education comprises FOUR compulsory subjects, Sport Science, Sport Maths, Sport Communications and Sport Studies. Students must apply to be in the programme and preference will be given to those students who have participated in the Year 9 and 10 SiE programmes. It is an expectation that students in the SiE programme will represent the school in at least one sport. Students can select two other option subjects to complete their timetable.
Y11 Sport Science SIE (11SSC) allow students to achieve in science with internal assessments, and whilst teaching those give students a taste of the three external examinations. Students will be able to opt into the external examinations, and with further teaching be successful in gaining the entry requirements for either 12BIO (Yr 11 Genetics needed), or 12CHE (Yr 11 Acids and Bases needed), or 12PHY (Yr 11 Mechanics needed).
The course aims to use as much active learning and sports context learning as possible. This course has a minimum of 15 credits, or up to 27 depending on the student and choices made regarding external examinations.
