Media Studies

How much time does the average person spend watching movies or television, playing video games, listening to the radio, “surfing the web”, or reading the newspaper each day? We are constantly surrounded by the media in our modern society and for this reason it is important to examine the influence that they exert on us. The Media Studies courses offered at years 12 and 13 develop the media literacy of students by critically analysing the construction of film and print media. The specialised creative and practical skills associated with media production are taught and assessed in these courses.
