Science

Pūtaiao

Welcome to the Science Department!

Our Science classes are hands-on and practical to create knowledgeable, scientifically literate and technologically capable problem solvers. The courses aim to ignite and nurture students' curiosity and encourage students to question assumptions about the world around them.

We use scientific knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about the communication, application and implications of Science as these relate to their own lives and cultures and to the sustainability of the environment.

 

We strive to help students cultivate a lifelong passion for Science and prepare them to become educated citizens, capable of comprehending and analysing global issues. This starts with excellence in academics that sets them up for future learning and employment.
