Science has started the year off with a bang (or, rather a pop!). Year 8 students have been immersing themselves in the world of science as a standalone subject, embarking on a journey of discovery about energy through experiments and writing practical reports.

Year 9 students are investigating biology, delving deep into the intricate mechanisms of the body's control systems; through Nervous and Endocrine control, unravelling the mechanisms our bodies use to keep stable.

Year 10 chemistry, students have hit the ground running. They seamlessly transitioned from year 9 revision to exploring the captivating realm of chemical reactions. Their journey is punctuated by engaging practical experiments, such as the pop and flame test, igniting sparks of fascination and igniting a passion for scientific inquiry.

Year 9 and 10 students are currently undertaking their ILT tasks.

Year 11/12 students have settled back into the expectations of senior school, having submitted their first assessment pieces for 2024. Year 11/12 students have also been offered the opportunity to undertake an internship at Questacon!

If you have any questions about what is happening in the Science faculty, please contact your child's teacher or me.
