Section 2: Course and assessment overview

Fashion is a four-semester course of study. Semesters 1 and 2 of the course are designed to allow students to begin to engage with the course content, i.e. the knowledge, understandings and skills of the subject. Course content, learning experiences and assessment increase in complexity across the four semesters as students develop greater independence as learners. Semesters 3 and 4 consolidate their learning.

The study area core underpins this SAS and is described through concepts and ides and associated knowledge, understanding and skills. The electives provide opportunities to build on underpinning core concepts and ideas.

For a composite arrangement

This syllabus enables teachers to develop a course that caters for combined Year 11 and Year 12 classes. The syllabus can support teaching and learning for composite classes by enabling teachers to:

·  structure learning experiences and assessment to allow students to access the key concepts and ideas suited to their needs in each year level

·  provide opportunities for multilevel group work, peer teaching and independent work.

The following may prove helpful in designing a course of study for a composite class:

·  the course of study could be written in a Year A/Year B format, if the school intends to teach the same topics to both cohorts

·  topics that will allow Year 11 students ease of entry into the course should be scheduled in the beginning of the year

·  learning experiences and assessment need to cater for both year levels throughout the course. Even though tasks may be similar for both year levels, Year 12 tasks are more complex or are extended tasks.
