STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics)

Our school seeks to promote the development of Information Technology knowledge and skills in our students. We are a Department of Education STEM Action School, an Apple Distinguished School and an active member of the STEM Teacher Enrichment Academy Sydney linked to Sydney University.

With a dedicated Information Technology faculty and embedded technology focus acoss the curriculum, we provide a vast array of opportunities and pathways into STEM industries.

In Stage 4, students are selected to participate in a dedicated STEM stream to foster and develop the skills of those with a special aptitude and interest in technology.

In Stage 5 our students engage in a mandatory technology elective and have the opportunity to engage with a range of other STEM focused learning areas.

This is further supported in Stage 6 where students can choose from a range of IT related courses, including VET courses that provide links to careers in IT or further tertiary education.

To support the lesson delivery we have multiple specialty learning environments equipped with appropriate STEM tools and devices. Students engage in many extracurricular activities to gain valuable industry and real world experiences. These include participating in Coding, Engineering Challenges, iSTEM activities such as Space Camp and Robotics.
