Mr Wayne Keady
Head of Faculty
Science

The science department welcomed Mr Ian Robson to our ranks this year as a chemistry teacher. Other than this addition the usual stability of the science department continued.

The science excellence program was extended this year to incorporate a program run through Edith Cowan University which had the students attend a weekly session run by science specialists from the university. The student conference this year included presentations from other schools which allowed our students to appreciate their own and others work.

The Sublime magazine continued this year and was very ably edited by Joseph Rocca, Imogen Bowman and Sean McFarlane. Editions of this publication are available on the College website.

Our chemistry students competed in two teams in the Titration Stakes and acquitted themselves very well. A highly specialised skill is the focus of the competition and the students were expertly prepared by Mrs Axon and Mr Robson.

2008 saw the introduction of Marine and Maritime Technology course that has proven to be extremely popular and ably run by Mr Raymond and Mr Jones.

We look forward to the introduction courses of study in 2009 and the ability to provide flexible choices to students within the science subjects we offer.
