Welcome to the Science Key Learning Area website.
Studying science helps students understand the nature of the world around them and their place in that world. It promotes the development of personal attributes such as perseverance, cooperation, collaboration and creativity and engages students in distinctive ways of thinking about and explaining events and phenomena.
Through participation in authentic, 'real-world' science experiences, students develop the essential knowledge, attitudes and skills that help them become active and informed citizens, capable of making personal decisions.
From this website you can access information about the Science Education Strategy 2006 - 2009, Science Centres of Innovation and Professional Practice, Senior Science Officers, resources and district science contacts, as well as local and state-wide science events.
