Stage 1 and 2 Society and Culture: a good option for many

Stage 1 and 2 Society and Culture at Thebarton SC

"A look at ours and other societies with connection in mind."
One Stage 1 Society and Culture class and two Stage 2 classes (one being the SACE ATAR) were conducted in 2013 at TSC
The Society and Culture subject is able to be designed to be as relevant and achievable as possible for our students. The flexible content and assignment structure is ideal for our students, with teachers able to provide a wide range of assessment tasks. 
In 2013 twenty three students commenced Stage 2 Society and Culture (non SACE ATAR class), 5 withdrew, 16 gained a passing grade and two left school in Term 3 but were still awarded a grade.
Of the 23, 12 were ESL students with a NAP background (3 of these withdrew), 3 were re-entry students with Anglo background (1 of these left)and the other 8 were re-entry students with an ESL background (2 of these withdrew and 1 left).   
The attached PowerPoint provides details of the course, a link to the classes SocialSense Blog and some work samples.

The Society and Culture courses are a great option for our students and are courses we should promote with the students successfully completing the Stage 1 Humanities courses.
