Workplace Communication and Preparation
This unit introduces students to key concepts and skills for navigating the modern workplace. Students explore a range of industries, research career pathways, and build foundational knowledge of workplace expectations and communication.
Career Exploration and Literacy
Students investigate different career options using digital tools such as MyFuture. They practise reading and interpreting workplace texts, including job advertisements and interview advice.
Workplace Writing
Students develop practical writing skills by creating resumes and cover letters. They learn to structure these documents appropriately and tailor them to specific job roles.
Interview Skills
Students prepare for job interviews by analysing common questions, scripting responses, and practising verbal communication in a supportive environment.
Digital Communication and Presentation
Students explore the podcast genre and learn to use presentation tools such as PowerPoint. They plan and deliver a formative group presentation to build confidence and digital literacy.
Podcast Project and Reflection
Students script, record, and edit a workplace-themed podcast as their final assessment. They reflect on their learning and present their work in a class showcase.

Workplace Communication and Career Readiness
This unit supports students in developing the communication, research, and presentation skills needed to explore career pathways and workplace expectations. Students engage with real-world texts, digital tools, and multimodal formats to build confidence and capability in professional contexts.
Understanding Workplaces and Career Exploration
Students explore the concept of the workplace and investigate a range of industries and career options. They use digital platforms such as MyFuture to research roles, skills, and working conditions, and begin identifying personal career interests.
Reading and Responding to Workplace Texts
Students learn to interpret job advertisements and workplace documents. They build vocabulary and practise identifying key information such as duties, qualifications, and application requirements.
Workplace Writing: Resumes and Cover Letters
Students develop practical writing skills by creating resumes and cover letters tailored to specific careers. They use templates and scaffolds to structure their documents and participate in peer review and reflection.
Interview Preparation and Communication Skills
Students prepare for job interviews by analysing common questions, scripting responses using the STAR method, and practising verbal communication through role-play and group activities.
Multimodal Communication: Podcasts and Presentations
Students explore the podcast genre and learn to use PowerPoint effectively. They plan, draft, and rehearse a formative presentation, then develop a scripted podcast designed to support jobseekers.
Assessment and Reflection
Students complete a final podcast and script as their summative assessment. They incorporate feedback, refine their work, and reflect on their learning through self-assessment and a class showcase.

Patterns and Algebra
In this unit, students will substitute values into formulas to determine an unknown.
Students expand and factorise binomial algebraic expressions and evaluate expressions by substituting values into formulas.
Data Representation and Interpretation
Students will construct and compare a range of data displays including stem-and-leaf plots and dot plots and histograms. They will calculate measures of centre and spread, interquartile ranges and standard deviation, and use these to compare and interpret data sets. Students will investigate the effect of outliers on the mean and median.
Students will investigate the relationship between two numerical variables, including where the independent variable is time.
They will evaluate statistical reports in the media and other places by linking claims to displays, statistics and representative data
Linear and Non-Linear relationships
Students will solve linear equations.
They will determine the equation of a line of best fit through data points.

Chance
Students will use tree diagrams to find probability outcomes and relative frequencies to estimate probabilities of events. They will investigate independence and use conditional statements.
They will plan and conduct statistical investigations involving samples of a population; use ethical and fair methods to make inferences about the population and report findings, acknowledging uncertainty.
Students will list all outcomes for compound events both with and without replacement, using lists, tree diagrams, tables or arrays; assign probabilities to outcomes.
Students will design and conduct  repeated chance experiments and simulations using digital tools to model conditional probability and interpret results.
