The Science Department at Leeming Senior High School aims to encourage our students to develop their knowledge and understanding of the four main aspects of Science which include Chemical, Physical, Biological and Earth and Space Science.

The development of Science Inquiry and critical thinking skills are embedded within the curriculum. Students will develop their ability to design and conduct investigations, analyse data to draw conclusions, critically evaluate claims and communicate in a scientific way using their scientific vocabulary. We want our students to understand the principles and practice of Science, and its relevance to the real world.

There is a broad range of co-curricular activities on offer through membership of the Science and Technology Academy (STA). STA is an approved Specialist Program within the Department of Education.  

Members of mainstream who have not entered the school through the STA Special Programs application process can have access to all that the program has to offer by joining as an Associate Member of STA. Associate Members have access to the full range of co-curricular programs and activities on offer while being a member of the mainstream Mathematics and Science classes.
