HeadStart is in full swing in the Science department. 

The VCE Biology Unit 3/4 class successfully extracted DNA from a strawberry. It was a good way to brush up on their practical skills before 2025 and take some time away from their books post revision and Unit 2 exams. 

The current Grade 5’s got an introduction into ‘what is science’ and will be using a range of measuring equipment during HeadStart with Ms Brown to ensure a smooth transition next year.

Students in next years 7-10 program have had the opportunity to use a Scanning Electron Microscope (a fancy microscope) on loan from Gene Technology Access Centre (GTAC) in Melbourne. Ms Campbell and Ms Brown have used HeadStart to focus on microscope usage in preparation for Biology in Term 1.
