Our Science program, taught by specialist teachers, nurtures the students’ sense of wonder and develops their passion for discovering how the world works. This is achieved through the implementation of a professional learning program titled Primary Connections. This resource is based on an inquiry-orientated teaching and learning model known as the 5 E’s: Engage, Explore, Explain Elaborate and Evaluate. Students use their prior knowledge and literacies to develop explanations for their hands-on experiences of scientific phenomena. Students have opportunities to represent and re-represent their developing understanding. They are engaged actively in the learning process. Students develop investigation skills and an understanding of the nature of science.
Above all, we aim to foster a love of science in our students. To provide them with tools to succeed in their future scholastic studies and perhaps choose a career in one of the many fields of science in their adult life.
