Science

Lessons make use of innovative, exciting resources including robots, microcontrollers, 3D printers, engineering kits, coding technology, and a large selection of electronics and building materials. Students are guided in using the key skills of Computational, Design, Systems, and Scientific thinking as outlined in the NSW Science and Technology Syllabus. These skills can develop students’ critical thinking and their ability to translate known skills and information when solving new or complex problems.

In Stage 2 and 3, students have the opportunity to enhance their Literacy and Mathematics skills through technology lessons. Students have been learning to email, create a blog, use a variety of Google Suite applications, create a Claymation movie, code on Scratch, create and 3D print an object using CAD software, and program robots to complete a task. These lessons aim to improve both their written and digital literacy, whilst engaging them in real-life and hands-on learning experiences.
