Year 10 Psychology
Students in Year 10 Psychology will begin by studying Neuropsychology, which covers the brain's structure, function, and impact on behavior. They will then focus on Mental Health & Wellbeing, exploring psychological health and strategies for promoting it. Next, they will examine the Biopsychosocial Model Across the Lifespan, learning how biological, psychological, and social factors interact to shape human development. This course lays the groundwork for further studies in Stage 1 and Stage 2 Psychology.
