PSYCHOLOGY

Year 9 Psychology students have been exploring the roots of psychology and how the brain works. They’ve examined how the brain influences thoughts and behaviour and delved into the Rorschach inkblot test, sparking creative discussions about perception and the mind. Check out the photos of their inkblot analyses, showcasing their curiosity and creativity!

COMMERCE 

This term in Commerce, Year 10 students have been learning about the economic and business environment. In this topic, they have explored the turbulent nature of the economy and the internal and external factors that influence the mechanics of the operation of the Australian Economy. As part of an assessment task, students were asked to create a board game that integrates economic concepts in a fun and engaging way. Students created various types of board games that allowed players to experience various economic scenarios that displayed the 'opportunity cost' of making decisions as consumers, producers and workers in the Australian economy. See photos of an example of one of the board games created that explored the nature of a 'consumer' in the economy and the impacts of spending and saving behaviours on the Australian economy.
