Stage 6 PHYSICS - What's New in the New Syllabus (30/11 PARRAMATTA)

This in-person face-to-face workshop will best prepare teachers for what's new in the new Stage 6 Physics syllabus. In this workshop, teachers will unpack the new Year 11 and Year 12 syllabus to: • learn the new course structure requirements • learn the new assessment and reporting requirements • learn the new practical depth studies requirements • identify similar content with the outgoing syllabus • learn the new content • learn the new experiments • identify Year 11 content important for Year 12 In particular, we will unpack the physics behind the new content. All teachers will walk away with a variety of resources to assist their students in the classroom. Feedback from Recent Courses "This was an amazing PD.
