It develops in students an understanding of commercial and legal processes and competencies for personal financial management.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES

International Studies provides students with an opportunity to explore and recognise their own cultures, and appreciate the richness of multicultural Australia and the world. As Australia is part of the Asia-Pacific region, the course lends itself to an emphasis on, but is not limited to, this region. They gain knowledge of dices, values, beliefs and heritages to form a broader world-view.
