Biology  is the study of living things.  The Preliminary course examines a local ecosystem, the diversity of organisms and their requirements, life on Earth through time and the evolution of Australian biota.  The HSC course investigates how organisms maintain a balance with their surroundings, the study of reproduction and genetics and the importance of communication.  One elective will be studied in the HSC year.
