Science: Year 7 - 10

All our students will need to participate in a scientific, technological society. If our future citizens are to successfully engage with the key issues of the environment, emerging genetic technologies, alternative energy sources and many that are yet to be known, they will require a robust and flexible appreciation of Science. Critical to this is a sound grasp of the nature of scientific inquiry and the reasons for its unsurpassed power and success and as tool for understanding the physical world, as well as its limitations.

To be able to think scientifically and know how to apply this critically to life's challenges is an essential skill for all students if they are to become innovative and industrious citizens, parents, and leaders. Science education matters!

Science is a great opportunity for students to learn through doing and should be as practical and experimentally based as possible. It is also fun and engaging when embedded into relevant and interesting contexts.
