In Science at Cavendish Road SHS students will develop scientific literacy, use critical and creative thinking skills, challenge themselves to ask questions and draw evidence-based conclusions using scientific knowledge and practices.  Developing these scientific competencies will enable students to develop, model, analyse and improve solutions to real world problems preparing them for future success.

Years 7 to 10

Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 study the Australian Curriculum and cover the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth and Space.

Extension Opportunities

Academy of Ideas is an application-based offering for year 7 and 8 to extend and challenge our more inquisitive and high performing learners. This program provides the opportunity to offer hands-on, fun and authentic activities that, for practical reasons, are difficult to offer in the day-to-day program. In year 9, the AOI program becomes a humanities 'invite only' subject for extension students, targeting critical and creative thinking skills, through collaborative learning experiences.
