We endeavour to provide new challenges and set high expectations for our students. Students are expected to employ what they have learnt to critical thinking situations and relate their experience to local environments.

Our goal is to create a passion for science within our students which will see them well equipped for work or future university studies. In science and technology, students explore the natural and made worlds. They learn how to apply scientific and technological skills, knowledge and understanding across a broad range of contexts.

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