Our state- of the art STEM Centre features fifteen science
laboratories and specialist technology classrooms, including
digital multimedia, robotics design, materials technology
and a 3D printing laboratory, all centred around a central
open-air courtyard. Inside these exceptional facilities, we
foster our students’ creative and critical thinking with a
school-wide STEM program of design thinking and problem solving and extra-curricular opportunities such as the STEM Club and Robotics Competitive Team.
Developing STEM knowledge and skills is critical to facing current and
future challenges, including living in a changing environment, effectively managing limited resources such as food and water, delivering improved health and wellbeing outcomes and ensuring the prosperity and development of our populations.
STEM learning emphasises project based and inquiry based learning approaches, which are used throughout the school’s curriculum. The school has a large 3D printing laboratory which is used across the learning areas. In the Year 9 Connections program students in particular undertake project based work to explore real life problems.
