All students undertake Science in years 7-10 as part of their studies.
In Year 7 and 8 students will study a core curriculum designed to expose them to Physics, Biology, Environmental Science, and Chemistry. With a strong focus on practical and laboratory work, students will focus on developing their knowledge of the scientific method at this time.
In Year 9 and 10 students will do a semester of core science, again covering units from each of the main branches of science and one semester where they can elect a science from their preferred area. Students who love science may also choose to complete more than one elective each year.
