Course Overview

Term 1
In the first term, the focus is on working together as a group in a school based context on a project-based task. The purpose of this project will be to use real world examples such as a Year 12 common room or modernisation of the canteen. This term will also focus on the business correspondence standard with the students completing one memorandum and a formal letter to the school focused on the project for this term.

Term 2
Term two is all about oral communication and being confident in workplace discussions and meetings.

Term 3
We continue our business correspondence work plus add a close viewing standard that uses critical thinking and analytical skills.

Term 4
This term we make sure all the 'i's' are dotted and the 't's' are crossed.
