10LEO

Year 10 Learning Enrichment

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: S. Howell.


This course is by INVITATION ONLY to those students who demonstrate high ability in one or more learning domains.


This course builds on the thinking and learning skills introduced to students in Year 9 LEO. 

The Year 10 course focuses on developing philosophical and critical thinking skills in investigation of real-world issues.

The course begins by re-introducing philosophy concepts covered in brief in the Year 9 LEO course, then advances into ethical dilemmas, debate and decision-making concerning a range of topics. 

Debate topics will be selected by consultation with students to help ensure they appeal to domains of interest.

Progress will be measured by an improvement in their debating skills and their use of ethical frameworks in social decision making.

Course availability is dependent on numbers and staffing, and course entry cannot be confirmed until the beginning of the 2024 school year.
