SCIENCE
HEAD OF FACULTY: MRS L MERCHANT
At Year 10 most students are not ready to make a decision which could affect their potential career path. Most career pathways need at least 14 credits from Level 1 Science.
Science at Level 1 is needed for:
- A better understanding of the world we live in e.g. surviving a pandemic, climate change. A shortage of skilled professionals in this area in some cases, e.g. Engineering, Science, Finance, Trades and ICT.
- Students develop the "foundation" knowledge at school level for success later in life.
- Helps students develop critical thinking, problem solving, and analytical skills.
- Allows students to keep career future ideas open.
Science offers students a number of opportunities both within the scientific field and outside of science; such as in the field of business, engineering, information technology and healthcare and trades.
