Lower School Science

As a focus for their Science work in Years 7 and 8, students carry out short and long term Science investigations and problem solving activities in biological, chemical, physical, and earth science contexts. This approach is continued in Year 9 and specifically includes studies in Human Biology, Ecology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Energy. In Year 10, students are streamed into classes according to their progress in Year 9 and their choices for Year 11. They study a program designed to prepare them for appropriate courses in Senior School. Experiments and investigations continue to be an important part of the program.
