PHYSICS
Board Developed Course (ATAR)
A study of Physics allows students to better understand the physical world and how it works.
Students who study Physics are encouraged to use observations to develop quantitative models of real-world problems.
Physics students engage in solving equations based on these models, make predictions, and analyse the interconnectedness of physical entities.
This course provides a foundation for undertaking post-school studies in a wide range of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
PREREQUISITES
