Economics Y11, 12, 13
Economics is all about scarce resources and how society chooses to use them in the production of goods and services. In higher levels, Year 11 onwards, students learn about prices, markets, inflation, international trade, economic growth, business organisations, and the Governments influence on our economy.
In Year 12, students develop reasoning and analytical skills that will help them to present and interpret economic data and arguments in a clear and coherent manner and students learn to describe and measure these issues as well as understand their causes and possible effects. They also develop an awareness of policies that a government could implement to address the issues. This is extended in Year 13 for students to develop reasoning and analytical skills that will help them to present and interpret economic data and arguments in a clear and coherent manner.
Economics enables students to become economically literate and understand the world better, and will make students more attractive to any commercial organisation or well placed for further academic study in business, management or commerce.
Students participate in simulations, games, case studies, projects, current events and their own experiences of business. Economics is fun, relevant and educational.
