Subject pathway…. Year 11 HHD (units 1 & 2) will lead directly into Year 12 HHD (units 3 & 4) Year 11 HHD isn’t a prerequisite for Year 12 HHD (ie. you can do 3 & 4 without having done 1 & 2) Many university courses encompass large aspects of the HHD course (eg. Nursing, Phys Ed, Human Movement, Applied Science, Chiro, Physio, Medicine) so it is a very beneficial subject to do if you are thinking of doing any of those courses in the future
