Science education thrived in 2024 as Mr Nader, Mrs Whitehand, Mrs Dey, Mrs McBride, Dr Tickner, Dr Kelly and Miss Glasswell worked alongside students to explore a wide variety of engaging topics. These ranged from mixtures and solutions to seasonal changes, celestial events, forces, biological classification and body systems, particle theory, energy physics, fundamental chemistry, and geological concepts. Each unit was enriched with hands-on activities, deepening students' understanding and excitement for science.
Year 10 students, guided by Miss Glasswell and Mrs McBride, dove into specialised units covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology-focused Biology. These courses gave students the chance to explore their interests and prepare for senior studies. The ATAR science program continued to thrive, remaining a popular and robust pathway for senior students across all disciplines.

Science Week 2024, themed Species Survival, was a highlight of the year. Students engaged in thought-provoking activities such as making bath bombs to examine pollution and exploring the role of light in ecosystems. These hands-on experiences encouraged critical thinking about conservation, inspiring many budding scientists and young environmental advocates.
The National Youth Science Forum remained a cornerstone of our science program. In 2024, Bridie Matthews proudly represented us, gaining valuable insights into STEM careers and studies. Looking ahead, Charlotte Crawford (Year 11) has been selected for the 2025 forum, where she will explore diverse STEM opportunities and further develop her passion for the field.
