Mind and Morality students are effectively beginning their tertiary education while in year 11. Highly motivated students of Mind and Morality learn to think and write to university standards through the investigation of fundamental and fascinating issues that are not addressed elsewhere in the HSC curriculum: What is a mind? What is a person? Could robots think and feel? What is the relationship between God and morality? Is morality merely subjective or culturally relative?Should we ever violate a person’s rights in order to increase overall happiness? Mind and Morality is endorsed as a one-unit option. The course is recognised by the Board of Studies as Year 11 preliminary unit and forms part of a student's final HSC record. The result for Mind and Morality will appear on a student’s Record of Achievement and again it is worth six credit points toward an undergraduate degree at the University. Mind and Morality is offered at the Summer School in January at the University of Sydney campus. The course is also offered in Semester One and Semester Two as an after-school program run in host schools. All students are welcome to apply to take the course at host schools. If there is no host school in your area consider suggesting your school to be a host school. http://www.usyd.edu.au/future_students/mind_morality.shtml Further information Julian Miller Phone: (02) 9351 5774 Fax: (02) 9351 5888 Email: julian.miller@usyd.edu.au  University of Notre Dame Open Day The date of this event was incorrectly shown as 8 August.
