SCIENCE

The Science KLA would like to farewell Skye Jennings, Matthew Donald, Lachlan Mann, Dannielle Keogh, Tristan Dunkley and Christie Godby. We wish them all the best on their journey.  

Our Senior students have been busy completing their orientation for VCE. They have enthusiastically jumped into their new classes and are already starting their coursework as a key component of their VCE journey. It is important that students have their holiday homework complete to start 2023 on the best foot.  

Our junior students have been busy completing their Independent Investigations and have been exploring a range of topics to create some amazing scientific reports and posters. Students have demonstrated their learning throughout the year through designing their own experiments to complete, even completing their own risk assessments and order forms to safely conduct their experiments. This has seen some great investigations around the questions: “Does removing senses affect the taste of foods?”, “How high can an egg fall without breaking?”, “which material has the highest tensile strength?” and “How does the presence of worms affect composting rates?”. We have had fantastic feedback from students about the hands on learning they have completed over the past few weeks. We can’t wait to see the students Scientific Posters around our classrooms. 

Everyone from Science would like to wish all the best to the Class of 2022 and wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holidays. We look forward to welcoming everyone back at the start of next year.
