Primary (Foundation-Year 6)
Foundation
A foundational journey through the natural and physical world, fostering curiosity through hands-on observation and sensory exploration. Students develop basic scientific inquiry skills by questioning, predicting, and recording their findings about living things, materials, and the environment.
Year 1
A comprehensive foundation in scientific inquiry where students observe patterns in nature, explore the properties of materials, and investigate how living things grow and change. Students build critical thinking skills through hands-on experimentation and outdoor observations aligned with Australian curriculum standards.
Year 2
Students develop their understanding of how living things grow, how materials can be changed, and how the Earth resources are used. They engage in hands-on inquiry to observe patterns and make predictions about the physical and natural world.
Year 3
A comprehensive inquiry into how living things grow, how the Earth changes, and how forces and heat influence our daily lives. Students develop scientific habits of mind through hands-on investigation and data collection.
Year 4
A comprehensive exploration of how living things interact with their environments and the physical forces that shape our planet. Students engage in hands on investigations to understand life cycles, material properties, and the mechanics of motion.
Year 5
This course engages Year 5 students in deep inquiry across biological, physical, and earth sciences. Students investigate how living things adapt to survive, how light behaves in our world, and how the Earth changes over time through hands-on experimentation and scientific observation.
Year 6
A comprehensive year of scientific discovery focusing on how biological, chemical, and physical systems interact. Students engage in evidence based inquiry to understand the changing Earth and the energy that powers our modern lives.
Secondary (Years 7-10)
Year 7
This course introduces students to the foundational principles of scientific inquiry through the study of biological classification, gravitational forces, and chemical separations. Students develop skills in experimental design and data analysis while exploring the interconnectedness of Earth systems and the diversity of life.
Year 8
A comprehensive exploration of the systems that govern our physical and biological world. Students investigate the microscopic building blocks of life, the chemical nature of matter, and the physical forces that shape human innovation.
Year 9
Students explore the interconnected nature of biological, chemical, and physical systems. This course emphasizes evidence-based modeling of atomic structures, plate tectonics, and physiological regulation to explain how matter and energy transform the world.
Year 10
This course investigates the complex interactions within biological, chemical, and physical systems. Students explore the origins of the universe, the mechanisms of inheritance, and the chemical reactions that drive technological and environmental change.
