Biology Course Syllabus

The Biology Syllabus offers a combination of theoretical and practical studies leading to an understanding of the concerns and basic principles of biology, with emphasis on human biology.

Students will develop scientific abilities and skills relevant to the study of Biology in relation to the four main areas of syllabus content. These are: characteristics and classification of living organisms, organisation and maintenance of the organism, development of the organism and continuity of life, and relationships of organisms with one another and with their environment.

the course will stimulate an interest in, and concern for, the environment. It will prepare students to become confident citizens in a technological world, and to take an informed interest in scientific matters; it will also form a basis for more advanced study.
