Year 11
Year 11 Preparation — HSC Class of 2028
Our Year 11 preparation course has commenced in Term 4, 2026 for current Year 10 students entering Year 11 in 2027 and completing their HSC in 2028.
Subjects: Mathematics Standard, Mathematics Advanced, Mathematics Extension 1, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, English Standard and English Advanced. Biology’s class time remains to be confirmed.
Meet our teaching team
Our Maths team includes a seasoned Mathematics teacher who is now Deputy Principal at a high school, alongside another Mathematics teacher who achieved top marks in HSC Mathematics Extension 1 and Extension 2.
Our Chemistry and Physics teacher has over 20 years of teaching experience and two years of experience as an HSC marker.
Our English teacher is Head of English at a high school and brings a strong passion for English to every lesson.
Lessons build senior subject knowledge, clear reasoning, writing skills and confidence with school assessments.
Subjects
We offer a full range of Year 11 subjects, including Mathematics Advanced, Mathematics Extension, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, English Standard and English Advanced. Each course is designed to strengthen understanding of key syllabus content, build exam skills, and prepare students for Year 12 and the HSC.
Mathematics
Year 11
Mathematics Advanced
Our Year 11 Advanced preparation follows the 2024 syllabus for students entering Year 11 in 2027 (HSC 2028).
Students study functions and their transformations, trigonometry and angular measure, identities and equations, introductory differentiation, exponentials and logarithms, and probability and data. Lessons connect concepts through worked examples, reasoning and assessment-style practice.
Mathematics Standard is also available. This practical pathway develops algebra, financial skills, measurement, time and location, networks and data analysis, following Mathematics Standard 11–12 (2024). See the timetable for class times.
Mathematics Extension
Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 follows the 2024 syllabus for students entering Year 11 in 2027 (HSC 2028). It extends Mathematics Advanced through more demanding reasoning and problem solving.
Year 11 study develops functions and polynomial techniques, further trigonometry, counting methods and binomial expansion.
Vectors, mathematical induction and further calculus belong to the Year 12 Extension 1 course. Mathematics Extension 2 is a Year 12 course. Students study Extension 1 alongside Mathematics Advanced.
Science Tutoring
Build a strong foundation in senior Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Our Term 4, 2026 preparation program supports students entering Year 11 in 2027 for the 2028 HSC. Biology and Physics preparation aligns with the new 2025 syllabuses; Chemistry continues with the 2017 syllabus for this cohort.
Our Chemistry and Physics teacher has over 20 years of teaching experience and two years of experience as an HSC marker.
Chemistry
The Year 11 course develops the knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to the properties and structures of matter, the types and drivers of chemical reactions and how we measure the quantities involved in these processes.
MODULES
-
MODULE 1: Properties and Structure of Matter
-
MODULE 2: Introduction to Quantitative Chemistry
-
MODULE 3: Reactive Chemistry
-
MODULE 4: Drivers of Reactions
Physics
Year 11 preparation for students entering Year 11 in 2027 — HSC 2028. This course aligns with Physics 11–12 (2025).
Focus areas
• Fundamentals of mechanics
• Waves
• Electricity and magnetism
Students investigate physical phenomena, apply mathematical models and evaluate evidence. Working scientifically skills and depth-study preparation are integrated with the content.
Biology
Year 11 preparation for students entering Year 11 in 2027 — HSC 2028. This course aligns with Biology 11–12 (2025).
Focus areas
• Cells as the basis of life
• Cells to systems
• Evolution and ecosystems
Students explore living systems and environmental interactions, analyse scientific evidence and develop investigation skills. Preparation supports depth studies and the Year 11 fieldwork requirement.
English
Year 11 Course
In Year 11 English, students deepen their understanding of language, literature and communication while preparing for the HSC. Through the study of diverse texts – from classics to contemporary works – students develop critical reading, analytical skills and creative expression. Both English Standard and English Advanced courses focus on exploring how context, purpose and audience shape meaning, while giving students opportunities to refine their own writing across imaginative, persuasive and analytical forms.
English Standard
The Year 11 content is organised around certain Focus Areas, including:
-
Reading to write: Transition to English Standard — students develop skills to analyse texts and express themselves in writing appropriate to Standard level.
-
Contemporary Possibilities — exploring modern texts, contexts, values etc.
-
Close Study of Literature — deeper literary analysis of classical and modern texts; studying form, structure, language etc.
Outcomes / Skills Emphasised
-
Analysing how language, form, structure influence meaning across text types.
-
Understanding the relationship between context, audience, purpose, values in texts.
-
Composing texts: both creative and critical writing, for different audiences and purposes.
-
Reflecting on own compositional processes — making thoughtful choices about language, form, structure.
English Advanced
The Year 11 course has three main focus areas under the new syllabus:
-
Reading to write: Transition to English Advanced — building from Standard level towards more sophisticated analysis and writing.
-
Narratives that shape our world — studying how narratives across time, culture, media etc. influence identity, experience, etc.
-
Critical Study of Literature — close analytical reading of complex texts (literary, multi-modal etc.), exploring how meaning is constructed and valued.
Outcomes / Skills Emphasised
-
Deeper analysis of how language, form, structure interact to produce meaning in different texts and contexts.
-
Understanding and comparing how texts relate to each other (themes, cultural perspectives, contexts) — textual conversations.
-
Greater creative & critical writing: composing with authority, making sophisticated and original choices about style, form, etc.
