01SPC is a Science course for students wanting to take only Physics and Chemistry.
Students will choose ONE of the three options offered, based on their Science interests and career pathway.
This course will be taught in three trimesters. In the 1st trimester, two topics will be assessed internally.
Students will then choose one Physics and one Chemistry topic for Trimester 2 and 3. Some topics will be assessed internally, others will be assessed externally.
Semester A
Trimester 1:
Internal Assessments: 90943 and 90946
Semester B
Trimester 2:
For Chemistry - either External Assessment 90944 OR Internal Assessment 90930
For Physics - either External Assessment 909408 OR Internal Assessment 90935 + 90941
Semester C
Trimester 3:
For Chemistry - either External Assessment 90944 OR Internal Assessment 90930

Level 2 Chemistry, Level 2 Physics
Students taking 01SPC will be able to take Level 2 Physics or Level 2 Chemistry the following year - as long as they have passed a significant proportion of the 01SPC course. Students wanting to take Level 2 Biology should choose 01SBC or 01SBP.
