School - Upper School Subjects

Human Biology examines the way the human body responds to environmental change, the genetics of human populations, the evolutionary history of the human species and human ecology.  In each area of study students will cover content important to a general understanding of major ideas and issues in Human Biology.  Students will be involved in laboratory investigations and they will be expected to achieve some degree of expertise in the process skills associated with science.

This subject is suitable for anyone wishing to develop an understanding of the regulation and control of human body function and the history of the human species.  It is also useful for students who intend studying science, physical education, nursing or other related subjects at tertiary level.
