Students who study Physics will find that some of the Mathematics C topics complement some Physics topics. Certain mathematics subjects are prerequisites for some University courses.

MODERN HISTORY Why study Modern History? As well as it being important for all informed citizens to have knowledge about how our society and its traditions have developed, the study of Modern History in the contemporary classroom focuses on the development of thought processes and skills essential in learning throughout life – researching; critically analysing and evaluating opinion, and developing written and oral argument. These attributes are valuable to anyone wishing to study towards professions that are people-centred, that require effective and confident written and spoken communication, and in which the ability to critically think through issues is required – law, arts, education, economics, government and the public services, personnel management, behavioural sciences, tourism, public relations, journalism, librarianship and research. Prerequisites As success in Senior Modern History depends on the ability to read and research widely, and to develop a wellbalanced historical argument based upon critically analysed evidence, a ‘C’ result in Year 10 English would be advisable.
