Science and technology is mandatory for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
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 provides a way of inquiring about the world around us. It explores evidence and investigates ways to discover, develop and produce solutions to real world problems. The inquiry and skill-based nature of science opens doors to ideas and discoveries.
Our teachers nurture students' curiosity about the world and how it functions. We emphasises the evolution of scientific and technological knowledge as new evidence emerges. This framework encourages students to observe, ask testable questions, and evaluate ideas to deepen their understanding.
In a world with abundant information, understanding and evaluating diverse sources is crucial for informed citizenship. Students enhance their technological literacy through digital technologies and the creation of innovative solutions.
The teaching and earning in science and technolgy aims to harness students’ natural curiosity and inventiveness, providing opportunities to explore both natural and designed environments, test ideas, and make evidence-based decisions.
