We have welcomed our newest scientists into the laboratories, Year 7, who've been sharpening their observational skills with flame tests, while Year 8 students are engaged in catapult and chain reaction challenges, putting their problem-solving abilities to the test. 

Chemistry classes are exploring the colorful world of indicators, as well as investigating the properties of substances through separation techniques. In the Year 9 Catalyst class, students aren't just studying STEM fields; they have actively applied the catalyst concept through the spectacular Elephant's Toothpaste reaction. They are also honing their communication and creative thinking skills by collaborating in groups to design both a shoe and a low-energy rollercoaster, putting their knowledge into action in innovative ways.

Once again, we look forward to providing a variety of opportunities for students to pursue their passion in Science, including National Science Week activities, the Astronomy Program and the Science and Engineering Challenge to name but a few.

With our laboratories already buzzing with excitement, we eagerly anticipate a year filled with innovation, exploration, and scientific discovery.
