Curriculum » Science
In science students explore how both the natural physical world and science itself work so that they can participate as critical, informed and responsible citizens in a society in which science plays a significant role.
The Year 7 programme contains an introduction to marine ecosystems and then focuses on increasing the students' knowledge of the Physical World, exploring concepts including friction, momentum, flight and pressure.
The Year 8 programme introduces students to cell structures and genetics before venturing into the Chemical World. Here the students use fair testing to investigate different reactions.
Both programmes are designed to be hands-on, with the goal of developing strong laboratory skills and positive attitudes to take forward to High School.
