Introduc�on The transi�on from Year 9 in the Middle School to Year 10 in the Senior School is designed to complement the related physical, emo�onal and intellectual changes that adolescents experience at this �me in their lives. This transi�on provides an opportunity for eligible students to successfully complete the Interna�on‐ al Baccalaureate Middle Years Program. Courses in English, Maths, Science and History reflect the content of the Australian Curriculum. Year 10 students will also commence SACE (South Australian Cer�ficate of Educa�on). At Year 10 level the only component of the SACE that needs to be undertaken is the Personal Learning Plan (PLP). The gradua�on to the Senior School formally recognises the unique physical, psychological, intellectual, social and spiritual needs of adolescent students. The Year 10 program introduces increased expecta�ons for greater student autonomy and responsibility and a�empts to meet the wide varia�ons in interests, abili�es and experiences of students by offering an expanded range of subject op�ons which allows a more differen�ated curriculum experience. Chris�an perspec�ves and community Each student is respected as a unique child of God, a young person of worth and dignity in his or her own right. Senior School teachers are commi�ed to the educa�onal, social and spiritual development of emerg‐ ing young adults. They have a commitment to each student’s individual development and also understand the importance of community associa�on and involvement to the wellbeing of adolescents. This sense of community and common purpose is an essen�al element in a successful learning community. The spiritual life of students is fostered through twice‐weekly Chapel services and class devo�ons, as well as through Chris�an perspec�ves incorporated into the curriculum. Pastoral Care is delivered through reg‐ ular sessions with Class Tutors who build strong rela�onships with students as both subject teachers and tutors. Choosing Courses for 2013 SECTION 1: General Informa�on This booklet is designed to provide students and parents with informa�on about the Year 10 and the Sen‐ ior School curriculum, and the final year of the Interna�onal Baccalaureate Middle Years Program at Im‐ manuel College. It will help students to make the best possible choices for their school studies and be‐ yond. The structure for student choices and programs of study is dynamic and each year some changes are made to meet student needs and interests. The informa�on also gives a summary of the way in which courses may be differen�ated in order to meet the needs of the diverse range of interests and abili�es as students progress through the College. The Interna�onal Baccalaureate Middle Years Program The Interna�onal Baccalaureate Middle Years Program concludes at Level 5 in Year 10. In addi�on to a strong academic focus, this broad based program fosters an interdisciplinary approach; it provides clear goals for students; it has a commitment to health and physical fitness and it connects the school to the community through community service. In addi�on, all students par�cipate in Chris�an Stud‐ ies and in an Outdoor Educa�on program. This program provides a unique and enriching educa�onal op‐ portunity for students to understand the environment in which they live. Further enrichment opportuni‐ �es are available through par�cipa�on in music, drama, sport and gi�ed educa�on programs. 3
