ACARA 9-10 Digital Technologies: Object-oriented programming in Python

Students learn why object-oriented programming is used, then design and write classes with attributes, methods, encapsulation and inheritance, test them, and combine them with functions and lists in a finished program.

One content description (AC9TDI10P06, AC9TDI10P09) from the full ACARA Digital Technologies Years 9–10 — Modular and Object-Oriented Programming (Python) journey. All 19 modules below are in that journey too, with the same content — add just these to a class, or the whole strand.
