Chemistry explores the way in which materials in our world are made and how they react with each other. Physics examines the science behind heat, light, electricity, magnetism as well as other forms of matter and energy. Biology is the study of living things and how they survive and live on this planet. Earth and Space delves into the way our planet is formed and the place of our world in the universe. It also looks at the way in which our universe is changing.

In the senior VCE years the study of Psychology is added to the full complement of Sciences offered at the College. Psychology examines the study of the mind, how it works and why people behave they way they do.

All of the Sciences offered involve the application of a theoretical framework that is complemented by experimental work performed in the College’s state of the art laboratories. Extensive computer programs are also available in every strand in every year level in the Science area. Students are able to perform scientific modelling and access the Internet on the large computer pod that runs through the centre of the Science wing.
