Earth and Environmental Studies
Within the Science faculty, senior students have the option
to study Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science
and Physics.
The emphasis in our Senior Science classes is on promoting
a curiosity about the scientific world and to develop our
students' confidence in interpreting, exploring and understanding
new concepts.
Student learning is enhanced through a variety of excursions
within our local community, to regional industries and to
rural and metropolitan universities. This allows our students
to experience the exciting and innovative applications of
these sciences.
Speakers who are experts in their fields are utilized in
the classroom to complement the experience of our teachers
and our diverse and superior range of resources. Once a week
Science staff conduct subject specific "Science at Breakfast"
tutorials that are readily available to students seeking additional
assistance. Our enthusiastic, committed staff have a wide
range of scientific backgrounds and experience combined with
a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Stage 6 Science
Syllabuses.
The high number of our graduating students pursuing a career
in the Sciences is testimony to the value of the experiences
provided to our students.
