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.
A range of IT devices are available for students to use, these include desktop computers, laptops and iPads as well as interactive whiteboards in every classroom of the school.
We have class pods of laptops available for each stage group and the library is also utilised as a hub to develop ICT skills including coding, which is now a mandatory part of the Science and Technology syllabus.
Students have access to the internet via the DoE Portal login protocol. Once enrolled, students are issued with an individual e-learning account and password. Children have access to the internet and individual email accounts through a safe DoE browsing filter. This means that a wide range of programs are available for students and teachers to use. Students are taught appropriate use of technology and diverse technological skills from Kindergarten to Year 6.
