Students will be given some choice to undertake other internally assessed Achievement Standards, according to their particular strengths and preferences. These will be chosen from:

AS2.5 - Construct and deliver a crafted and controlled oral presentation (3 credits)

AS2.6 - Create a crafted and controlled visual and verbal text (3 credits)
