With state-of-the-art science labs, early years science education, specialist science education for primary and secondary students, and a full suite of VCE science subjects, Girton aims to foster a passion for science and technology in students of all ages.

From the very beginning of their educational journey, Girton students are introduced to the wonders of science.

In the early years, children engage in hands-on experiments and activities that ignite their curiosity and lay a strong foundation for future learning.

In Years 3 to 6, students receive specialist science education, which can support them to delve deeper into scientific principles, and encourages them to ask questions, to hypothesise and experiment.

 

As students progress into the Senior School, Girton offers science and technology as standalone subjects, with a range of electives available as they progress to help them identify their interests.

In the later years, students can solidify their understanding of complex concepts in these areas of interest through a wide array of VCE science and technology subjects.

These include biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, psychology, product design and technology, and systems engineering.

Girton’s science and technology education focus is reflected in the strong VCE results achieved by students across these subjects.

The school prides itself on providing a supportive and stimulating environment with cutting-edge facilities designed to embed abstract concepts, including an immersive Lumination Learning Lab equipped with virtual and augmented reality technologies.

By offering a comprehensive STEM program, Girton Grammar School strives to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in these vital fields and adapt to an ever-evolving world.

Whether students aspire to become research scientists, engineers or healthcare professionals, Girton aims to provide them with a solid foundation in STEM, preparing them for a successful and rewarding future.
