Studying science provides students with a strong foundation in scientific concepts and inquiry skills. All Science events and excursions are designed to enhance student understanding and improve student engagement.

Year 7 and 8 Science allows students to be introduced to a number of different branches of   Science whilst giving them the chance to participate in a range of exciting practical activities.
