Students explore the establishment of a business and the role of accounting in the determination of business success or failure. Students consider the importance of accounting information for stakeholders.

Humanities A & Humanities B
Students will undertake immersive and hands-on learning experiences across the four humanities disciplines (history, geography, business and civics) in a series of short modules. We will be exposed to a broad range of topics in order to develop the transferable skills needed to navigate the world we live in, now and in the future.
Humanities A, B, C, and D follow the same approach, but are not a learning sequence. These subjects provide an alternative for students who do not wish to undertake a in depth humanities subject at VCE level or who have a general interest in the humanities.
