Highlights from Science

From the Science team

by Shane Baker

So, we come once again to the end of the year. All students should be proud of their accomplishments in Science throughout 2024. Year 8 students undertook their 8Validscience examination. This statewide examination allowed students to display their science skills and understanding that they have gained over their first 2 years of high school. Their results will be able to show how they are progressing in their science understanding compared to all 2023 year 8 students in NSW. Keep an eye out for those results to be emailed out to you by early 2025
