Science and technology

Science and technology is mandatory for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Science is taught for students up to Year 12. In Year 11 and 12, students are taught Life Skills for these subject areas. The concepts are taught using MAPPEN.

In science and technology, students explore the natural and made worlds. They learn how to apply scientific and technological skills, knowledge and understanding across a broad range of contexts.

Science 7-12 provides a way of inquiring about the world around us. It explores evidence and investigates ways to discover, develop and produce solutions to real-world problems. Science emphasises the skills for working scientifically, as well as critical and creative thinking to address scientific issues.

In Year 11 and 12, students are taught Life Skills for these subject areas. The concepts are taught using MAPPEN.
