Which referencing system should I use?

There are a few different referencing systems used at Pymble. Each systems have a particular format for creating a bibliography.

All subjects in years 7 - 10 will require students to use the HARVARD referencing system. This system uses in-text referencing, as well as creating a bibliography.

In the senior years, different subjects will have different referencing styles that pertain to that particular filed of study. Students may be asked to use the APA or CHICAGO referencing systems. Chicago 17 is used in History, this system uses footnote referencing, as well as creating a bibliography. APA is often used in the Sciences.   

It is encouraged that student's use Zotero in to help them manage their sources and create correct citations and bibliographies.  It's important to check that all source information has come across correctly when using an automated referencing tool.
