Dear Parent / Guardian

Re: Contributions and Charges

To enable the selection of a course that not only meets your child’s academic needs but also your financial
requirements, the approximate costs of subjects have been included at the end of this booklet.

The Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS) is available to parents/guardians who hold an eligible Pensioner
Concession Card or Health Care Concession Card. The Scheme comprises an Educational Program
Allowance of $235.00 which is paid directly to the school. This allowance covers the voluntary component of
all subjects your child undertakes during the school year.

Parents and students can choose courses that meet the maximum voluntary charge of $235.00 however,
higher cost electives can be selected. The amount in excess of $235.00 must be paid to enable the purchase
of additional materials and resources and as such, we rely heavily on parents making full payment of
Contributions and Charges.

The costs outlined for each of the subjects in this booklet are an approximate cost for 2021. These are subject
to change and parents will be advised of final costs for 2021 when the Contributions and Charges sheet is
mailed at the end of the year.

In accordance with the College’s Contributions and Charges Policy, a deposit of $100 is required
upon submission of your child’s electives. This deposit will be allocated towards your Charges for 2021.
Please refer to our website for the full policy.

I thank you for your support in this matter.

Yours faithfully

SUBJECT INFORMATION – COMPULSORY SUBJECTS
The following pages outline the content of each of the subjects available to Year 10 students. Students should
discuss their possible choices with the relevant Learning Area teachers if they require further information about
specific subjects.

ENGLISH
The Year 10 English course will be programmed and delivered in a similar way to Senior School courses. Each unit
will be a semester unit with its own context. The units will encompass the three outcomes of listening and speaking,
reading and viewing and writing.

Students will be placed in the English course considered most appropriate for them in light of their achievement,
NAPLAN results, attitude and final report from Year 9. Students who achieve an A or B grade in Year 9 will be
challenged and extended in Year 10 in preparation for courses in Year 11 ATAR. All other students will be offered
courses preparing them for Year 11 General courses. Students who need to sit the OLNA exams will be streamed
for additional assistance.

GENERAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION
This course is designed to provide students with the skills to assist them in maintaining a lifelong involvement in
traditional team sport. The course is broken down into three sections: moving our body, understanding movement
and learning through movement.

General Physical Education aims to provide students with interesting and meaningful learning experiences in a
diverse range of physical activities to motivate students in their sporting pursuits. Various practical sport units are to
be completed during the year and could be selected from a list such as volleyball, soccer, athletics, touch football,
cricket, AFL, netball, basketball, aquatics, hockey, circuit training, softball and soft cross. Students will learn about
personal hygiene and self-management skills through ensuring they are changed and prepared to participate in
each lesson.

HEALTH
Year 10 Health is compulsory for all students.

In Health and Physical Education, students develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to make decisions and
take action to strengthen their sense of personal identity and autonomy, build resilience, manage risk and develop
satisfying, respectful relationships. They learn to take a critical approach to questioning physical activity and health
practices and to use inquiry skills to research factors that influence the health, safety, wellbeing, and physical
activity patterns of themselves, individuals, groups and communities. As students grow and mature, they learn to
access, analyse and apply a variety of resources for the benefit of themselves and the communities to which they
belong.

                                                                                                                    Page 5

HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
The Humanities and Social Sciences learning area develops students’ understanding of how individuals and groups
live together and interact with their surrounding environment. We are currently living in a dynamic world and
through their studies, our students will make sense of this changing world by investigating key aspects of the past,
present and future.

The Humanities and Social Sciences curriculum has a strong focus on the implementation of the Australian
Curriculum. A key emphasis of this course will be on Australia in its global context.

Key topics covered in the Australian curriculum include:

 World War II
 Popular Culture
 Geography

A key focus of Year 10 Humanities and Social Sciences is to also prepare students for our Senior School courses.
These are:

   Career & Enterprise
   Geography
   Modern History
   Psychology

MATHEMATICS
In Mathematics students learn to use ideas about number, space and chance, and mathematical ways of
representing patterns and relationships to describe, interpret and reason about their social and physical world.
Mathematics plays a key role in the development of students’ numeracy and assists in learning across the
curriculum.

In Year 10, students will study:

 Number and Algebra
 Measurement and Geometry
 Probability and Statistics

Students will be placed into a course best suited to their ability as determined by their Year 9 results and/or in
consultation with the Head of Learning Area.

SCIENCE
Science in Year 10 follows the Australian Curriculum from the Year 9 course. Students will study topics such as:

   Biological Sciences
   Chemical Sciences
   Earth and Space Sciences
   Physical Sciences

The main objective of the courses in Year 10 is to round out students’ scientific knowledge and also introduce
increased rigour for those intending to choose Year 11 and 12 Science subjects.

Students in Year 10 Science will be placed in classes according to their Year 9 Science and Mathematics results.
There will be three pathways; Pathway 1, Pathway 2 and Pathway 3.

We encourage students to take the highest level of Mathematics they are capable of as Mathematics skills are very
important in a continuing study of Science.

                                                                                                                     Page 6

Recreational Sport encourages students to expand their understanding of movement and participation in a range of
sporting contexts not usually offered in a school sport program. The program will contribute to the development of
effective team relationships and further develop student self-management skills. Students also implement tactics
appropriate to various physical activity contexts, which may include; beach volleyball, snooker, squash, ten pin
bowling, water polo, aquatics, table tennis, floor hockey, badminton and other sports as required.

This elective will require students to travel off school grounds under the supervision of staff to complete various
activities. There is a significant cost to this course and charges need to be paid before the end of Term 1. Failure to
meet these requirements will result in student’s removal from this elective.

Please note that throughout the year, some excursions may incur an additional charge.

SPORTS SCIENCE (10HPSS1)
All students enrolled in a Specialist Sport Program will study Sports Science which will lead into Year 11 ATAR
Physical Education Studies. Entry to Year 11 ATAR Physical Education Studies will be based on teacher
recommendation and the student’s future pathway.

This is a recognised Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) subject and satisfactory completion goes towards
the student’s secondary graduation (WACE). The theoretical focus is on students developing their knowledge of
body systems and also the application of biomechanics to improve their performance. Students also have the
opportunity to coach and referee Year 8 and 9 students and participate in the organisation and running of
tournaments and carnivals.

This course is two hours of theory where the topics covered are related to the theory behind sport: motor learning
and coaching, biomechanics, functional anatomy, sports psychology and exercise physiology. Teachers will also
construct practical activities or labs that link in with the theory topic so students can learn through a practical
experience and environment similar to university.

RUGBY LEAGUE (10HPRU)
Prerequisite: Only students accepted into the Rugby program may select this course.

In this class you will develop all the skills relevant with Rugby League including but not limited to – Passing,
Tackling, Positioning and General Game Play. The class will also be partaking in Strength and Conditioning
programs to help improve overall fitness of the students within the class. Throughout the course there will also be
opportunities to compete against other schools who also have Rugby League Programs as well as compete in
tournaments run by NRLWA.

TRIATHLON (TRIHPE)
Prerequisite: Only students accepted into the Triathlon program may select this course.

The DRSC Triathlon program provides a unique opportunity for students to develop their physical fitness and skills
required for the three disciplines of triathlon – swim, bike and run. It allows students who currently participate in
Triathlon to complete some of their training during school time and elevate them to achieve their best. In addition to
providing an entire body workout and improving cardiovascular endurance, triathlon is an effective off-season sport
for maintaining fitness through cross training. Students will have access to equipment and facilities, such as Giant
road bikes and the school pool to assist with their training. Students will prepare themselves during the year to
compete and represent DRSC at the WA Sport All Schools Triathlon Championships held in November each year.
