Science Department

Science has been in full swing throughout 2018 so far! Our new Year 7’s have been busy learning the ins and outs of the Science laboratory, while the Year 8s have been putting their skills to the test by using microscopes and learning about the cells that make up every living thing. The Year 9s begun their year by examining some of the different body systems that make us tick such as the nervous and endocrine systems, while our Year 10s have been learning about genetics or motion and forces depending on the class they are in.
