Science and technology is mandatory for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
In science and technology, students explore the natural and made worlds. They learn how to apply scientific and technological skills, knowledge and understanding across a broad range of contexts.
Science provides a way of inquiring about the world around us. It explores evidence and investigates ways to discover, develop and produce solutions to real world problems. The inquiry and skill-based nature of science opens doors to ideas and discoveries.
Science at Les Powell School
The Science Key Learning Area encourages your child to explore and understand the world around them through engaging and sensory experiences. In the ES1 curriculum, we create opportunities for your child to learn about nature and basic scientific concepts through hands-on activities. As your child moves into Years 7-12, the Life Skills syllabus supports understanding of health, safety, and the environment. We aim to foster curiosity and critical thinking, helping your child make informed choices about their well-being and the world they live in.
Technology at Les Powell School
Technology education equips your child with essential skills to navigate the digital world safely and effectively. In the modified ES1 curriculum, your child engages with technology through interactive play, focusing on basic concepts. For students in Years 7-12, the Life Skills syllabus emphasises practical uses of technology for communication and daily living. We teach your child about digital safety and how to use technology to enhance their learning and independence, preparing them for the future in a connected world.
