|\n\nVCE units for Year 10 students  \nVCE Biology, Chemistry and Physics are not well-suited for advancement. It is generally recognised that students benefit from the extra year consolidating the foundations of their understanding and therefore entry into these VCEs is from Year 11 only.  \nIf you have excellent academic results, organisational skills and work ethic, you may be considered for advancement in Year 10 into VCE Environmental Science or Psychology (Unit 1&2) . Approval to study a VCE course as a Year 10 student is based on student application and staff recommendation as well as availability of places in a Year 11 class. If there is high demand, Year 11 students get preference over Year 10 students.  \nAdditional information on VCE Science courses and course descriptions can be obtained from your [Science teacher and also at](Science teacher and also at www.vcaa.edu.au)[ ](Science teacher and also at www.vcaa.edu.au)[www.vcaa.edu.au](Science teacher and also at www.vcaa.edu.au)  \nFurther advice on VCE Sciences – complementary and  \nsupporting subjects  \n􀁸 VCE Chemistry and VCE Ph","cbCailYw8qI8pXBw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailYw8qI8pXBw","pdf",896735,"English","# Year 7-9 Course Options\n## Year 9 Science electives and STEM courses\n# Year 10 Science Electives\n## Biology, Chemistry, Physics and progression notes\n## Environmental Science, Science in Our World, Psychology, Creative Solutions\n# VCE Units 1–4 Overview\n## Unit progression by year level\n# Suggested Pathways into VCE Science\n## Advancement into Year 10 VCE courses\n# Guide to Choosing Science Electives","[{\"question\":\"Which Science subjects are compulsory from Year 7 to Year 9?\",\"answer\":\"The guide lists Year 7 General Science and Year 8 General Science as compulsory for the year, and Year 9 General Science as compulsory for the year.\"},{\"question\":\"How does choosing Year 9 Science for Life affect later VCE options?\",\"answer\":\"Students taking Year 9 Science for Life cannot take VCE Physics, Chemistry, or Biology, but can still take VCE Environmental Science or Psychology.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key conditions for a Year 10 student to study VCE Environmental Science or VCE Psychology (Unit 1\\u00262)?\",\"answer\":\"Approval is based on student application and staff recommendation as well as availability of places in a Year 11 class, with Year 11 students receiving preference if demand is high.\"}]","Clonard College Science Pathways Guide 2021 - Imagining the Future - Summary of Courses Offered for 2021 | PDF",1789910982]
