Biology Chemistry General Science Physics Student Work

Learning in science is fundamental to understanding the world in which we live and work. Science raises questions, clarifies ideas and enables students to use their findings to establish the worth of an idea. Qualifications in science are the basis for a wide range of university and other tertiary courses, which in turn lead to employment opportunities in science, technology and related fields.

All students are expected to study science in Years 9 to 11. This then leads to specialisation into one or more of Biology, Chemistry and Physics in Years 12 and 13.
