Science

Science is mandatory for all students from Year 7 to Year 10.

Science 7-10 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. Science emphasises the skills for working scientifically, as well as critical and creative thinking to address scientific issues.

The Science Faculty at Glendale Technology High School (GTHS) strives to develop students' knowledge, understanding and skills to explain and make sense of the biological, chemical, physical and technological world. This will enable them to make educated choices and responsible decisions as individuals and as part of the wider community. We aim to develop critical thinking skills and creativity in all students, as well as nurturing an understanding of the world around us, whilst encouraging an interest and enjoyment of Science and its disciplines.
