Science 

Students in Science have been undertaking both practical and theoretical studies using

new technologies, solving practical problems, and making informed decisions — both

individually and collectively.

Year 7 students have been developing their skills in experimental work and have been

exposed to a wide variety of practical activities. They have been discovering the

concepts of friction, chemical and physical properties of metals to design a bike.

Meanwhile, Year 8 students have been addressing their mandatory research project and 

students in Year 9 have been heavily involved in experimental work, examining the

electricity, motion and nuclear reactions

In Year 10,  students are looking at the world of Chemistry and chemical reactions, learning to write, balance and make sense of chemical equations. This has been coupled with exciting practical work.

In addition 10S1 and 8K have been working on a project in partnership with the CSIRO, State Government and Hills Council. As part of the Generation STEM, the STEM Community Partnerships Program (STEM CPP) students are undertaking a curriculum-aligned, inquiry-based project to address challenges faced by our local community.

Students will be presenting their work to a panel in  November at Castle Hill.
