- Develop student confidence in coding (Python, JavaScript), environmental science, and engineering.
- Inspire students to investigate their world—whether through building models, analyzing local pollution levels, or innovating sustainable solutions.
- Foster strong parent connections through consistent, thoughtful communication.
- Keep our Science Lab thriving with organized resources, lively displays, and student work that celebrates inquiry.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Science (Honours)
- Bachelor of Education with Junior, Intermediate, or Senior qualifications
