Agriculture is a 2 unit course for each of Preliminary (Year 11) and HSC (Year 12). This is a Board Developed Course.
The Preliminary course incorporates the study of the interactions between the components of agricultural production, marketing and management, while considering the issue of sustainability of the farming system. This is an ‘on-farm’, environment-oriented course.
The HSC course builds upon the Preliminary course. It examines the complexity and scientific principles of the components of agricultural production. It places greater emphasis on farm management to maximise productivity and environmental sustainability. The Farm Product Study is used as a basis for analysing and addressing social, environmental and economic issues as they relate to sustainability and the marketing of agricultural products.
