Science at Killarney Heights High school is taught by a vibrant, highly skilled and experienced team of teaching and technical staff who are passionate about engaging our students in Science education.
The study of Science is a collaborative, creative endeavour, which has led to a dynamic body of knowledge organised as an interrelated set of models, theories, laws, systems, structures and interactions. Science provides explanations for a variety of phenomena and enables students to make sense of the natural world. Science education provides many varied opportunities for careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
In Science students develop their skills to work scientifically. By engaging in scientific inquiry, they develop a deeper appreciation of the development of science as an evolving body of knowledge and of the complex relationship between evidence and ideas. Students also develop their problem solving and critical thinking skills, essential for thoughtful participation as scientifically literate citizens.
