Science

Science is mandatory for all students from Year 7 to Year 10.

Science 7-10 provides a way of inquiring about the world around us. It explores evidence and investigates ways to discover, develop and produce solutions to real-world problems. Science emphasises the skills for working scientifically, as well as critical and creative thinking to address scientific issues.

The Science faculty is now offering the Stage 5 elective iSTEM. The elective utilises hands-on inquiry based learning techniques. It is designed to encourage students to undertake STEM based subjects for the Higher School Certificate, improve results and increase students completing university courses in STEM fields.

Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Senior Science are electives students can study in Stage 6.
The Science faculty aims to provide students with a variety of opportunities to engage with Science and universities. Some of the programs offered by the Science faculty include:

  • i-Science with the University of Sydney
  • Robotics programs including FLL
  • Various competitions including Bridge Building
