Science

As we fast approach the end of Term 2, our Science students have been busy submitting assignments to demonstrate their learning this term. It was wonderful to see students engage at the career's expo on Tuesday afternoon and hear all their questions about science pathways and subject choices. Year 11s, 10s, and year 9s will be considering their subject choices currently. Please take the time to discuss your students' performance in science, and their desired pathways, to make informed choices for the upcoming Year 11 QCE Reviews, Year 10 SETP's, Year 9 PPP's.
The Science team hopes that our students have enjoyed their classes this term and look forward to exploring new topics and learning next term
