Sydney University STEM Partnership

PCS recently applied to become a partner with the Sydney University STEM Teacher Enrichment Academy and won a position in this coming year’s program. Our STEM teachers will attend a 3 day residential school this term to look at how other schools are implementing STEM projects and to start planning the implementation of one in our school early next year. 

For our Stage 4 (Years 7 & 8) students this is a very exciting opportunity to participate in some rich learning experiences and develop STEM skills and a love of STEM subjects. These are: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

We are really excited about the possibilities that being involved in this program will mean for our students here at PCS. It is a unique and relished opportunity to be able to partner with the STEM Teacher Enrichment Academy.
