Want to be able to communicate effectively and think differently? Then, this course is for you. Not only will you learn the basics to get you through your education of a lifetime, but the above modules on offer for 2022 will also fulfill your Internal assessment requirements. You will achieve these through portfolios that will be added to throughout the year and will be completed in Term III. There is a possibility of gaining 14 credits internally. These cover writing, a speech presentation, and partaking in conversations in Spanish with your fellow classmates. Another 10 credits can be gained through external examinations in November. Due to being a language, unfortunately, neither Literacy nor Numeracy credits are available.
