In Biology the design and organization of living things and in particular humans is studied as well as how these organisms interact with their environment. This knowledge provides the foundation for understanding the opportunities for promoting the well-being of humans and other living organisms in the environment. It generates an awareness of the importance of our biodiversity and the unique role of humans in conserving, protecting and improving the quality of the biological environment for future generations.The CSEC Biology Syllabus is redesigned with a greater emphasis on the application of scientific concepts and principles.

It also uses the crafts of the carpenter, painter, artist and designer, and the skills of organisation, co-ordination, and stage management of activities. Consequently, Theatre Arts also contributes invaluably to the creative economy of the region.Dance and Drama are two major components of Theatre Arts. The third component, Stage Crafts, links Dance and Drama by providing the crafts and skills required for producing theatre. Thus, the Theatre Arts Syllabus is organised to be taught and experienced under three main principles: Appreciating and Analysing, Creating and Performing through Dance, Drama and Stage Crafts. As such, Theatre Arts should not be conceived of as three distinct disciplines. Rather, the Theatre Arts Syllabus has been designed to provide experiences that enable students to appreciate create and communicate theatrical events with their minds as well as their senses, emotions and their bodies, thereby fostering self- confidence, self-discipline and self-motivation.The Theatre Arts examination consists of three components. Paper 01 a short-answer paper, consist of six (6) compulsory questions. Paper 02, the practical paper, is examined externally by the Theatre Arts teacher and a specialist in the field.Paper 03, the School-Based Assessment, consist of two projects - a critique and research paper.The Theatre Arts Syllabus is made up of a Compulsory Core,?THREE?Options and?TWO?PULSORY COREOPTIONS (Select One)PROJECTSCaribbean Cultural FormsElements of Theatre ArtsDRAMA?1. a.
