1 Focus Studies are groups of subjects organised under a particular theme. They provide candidates with an opportunity to specialise in a particular area, either to develop a personal interest or to maximise employment prospects. Candidates in the Bachelor of Education are encouraged to broaden their general education in ways that complement their qualification. For example, candidates in the early childhood and primary majors who do not have a relevant year 11/12 background in a particular curriculum area are strongly encouraged to enrol in pre-curriculum studies.

1 Secondary Areas of Teaching to Year 10 (SAT10) and Secondary Areas of Teaching to Year 12 (SAT12)

1 SAT10

1 In the Bachelor of Education for intending middle school teachers candidates study one SAT10. In the Bachelor of Education for intending secondary teachers, candidates normally study one SAT10 (eg Mathematics) and one SAT12 (eg Physics which incorporates a SAT10, namely science). However, some candidates might choose to study one SAT10 (eg Science) and two SAT12’s (eg Chemistry and Earth Science). There are 10 SAT10 Secondary Curriculum Studies. Eight are Key Learning Areas (KLAs) namely: Arts; English; Health and Physical Education; Languages; Mathematics, Science; Social Science and Technologies and one non-KLA: Business and Commerce. Normally a SAT10 consists of four subjects: two 3 credit point subjects at level 1 and two 3 credit point subjects at level 2 plus the relevant SAT10 Secondary Curriculum Study.
