Science Week 2026

The school theme for National Science Week in 2026 is Seeds of Science: nurturing science for all.

This week we are  exploring the power of curiosity, inquiry and shared learning in growing scientific understanding. Just as seeds need the right conditions to grow, knowledge flourishes when it is nurtured, shared and applied to real-world and authentic challenges across all the scientific disciplines.

The theme encourages schools to explore how ideas take root, develop and spread – from the first spark of a question to the sharing of discoveries that benefit the wider community. It’s a celebration of how knowledge grows when tended with care, creativity and collaboration.

While it aligns with the United Nations International Year of Woman Farmers and the year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, it's about more than just agriculture. There are opportunities to explore seeds in all their forms... from seeding pearls, to growing crystals. 

Here are some activities that you families like to do together -  DIY Science - National Science Week
