Science
Science in our school involves students from Year 1 to Year 8 investigating the living, physical, material, and technological components of their environment and making sense of them in logical and creative ways.

We believe that learning in science is fundamental to our students developing an increased understanding of the world in which we all live. Our teachers assist students to clarify ideas, ask questions, test explanations through measurement and observation, and to establish the worth of an idea.

At our school the inclusion of Maori knowledge about the natural and physical worlds enriches science for all students. By acknowledging tikanga Maori and valuing the use of Maori language, we both affirm the identity of our Maori students and create a positive learning environment.

Our school and classroom programmes are responsive to all students; they identify and nurture students with both special needs and abilities in science.
 
 

Science and technology are major influences in many aspects of our daily lives. Our involvement in the Neighbourhood Engineers Programme ensures that learning can also be advanced through study of the development of scientific ideas or concepts within our own community.
