Are you fascinated by what makes people tick? Curious about why we dream, how we learn, or how personalities develop? Mastermind takes you on an exciting deep dive into human behaviour — helping you understand others and yourself.
This course is your gateway to the mind. From exploring brain structure and memory to analysing personalities and communication styles, you’ll build insight into what drives human thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Over the year, you’ll investigate major fields of psychology and discover how understanding human behaviour can shape positive change — in school, in friendships, and in life. Topics include:
This course aligns with the WA Year 10 Science curriculum, particularly in Science Inquiry Skills (planning and conducting investigations, collecting and interpreting data), Science as a Human Endeavour (ethical understanding, social applications), and Science Understanding (biology, health science, cognitive psychology).
Psychology is everywhere — in marketing, sport, education, medicine, leadership, and social media. This course gives you essential skills for future pathways in psychology, nursing, teaching, business, and mental health.
You’ll build personal insight, empathy, and communication skills — vital tools for anyone wanting to work with or understand people.
Assessment may include tests, assignments, research reports, and practical investigations.
