Physics

Course summary

Our curriculum aims nurture students to appreciate and understand the Science in the world around us and develop an enquiring mind. We aim to leave students with extensive substantive and disciplinary knowledge and understanding of key scientific concepts across the specialist disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Students should be able to use key scientific vocabulary both in written and verbal form to illustrate their understanding and apply numeracy skills in a variety of contexts to further deepen and demonstrate their understanding. Students will be introduced to the scientific method through practical work which will provide them another way to make sense of key concepts as well as make their own observations and insight into how a scientist works. Our aim is to not only assist students in the attainment of this knowledge, but to also develop them into scientifically literate citizens who are aware of the vast array of STEM related careers available and who are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue any they wish.
