Science

Learning in Science is fundamental to understanding the world we live in, it is a great way to develop students’ critical and creative thinking skills while engaging them in activities. Students have the opportunity to clarify their ideas, share and compare, question, evaluate, and modify their ideas, leading to scientific understanding. 

In Science, students have opportunities to develop their ideas and skills, first in a variety of familiar contexts in junior school and later in more challenging situations as they progress into senior subjects.  The curriculum is articulated to allow development through the areas of Science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science.

Different cultures and periods of history have contributed to the development of scientific knowledge. Science education at TBC acknowledges Mātauranga Māori and values the use of Te Reo Māori, this affirms students' identity and creates a positive learning environment for all students in the classroom.
