This Key Learning Area of study is informed by the NSW Board of Studies  Science and Technology K-6 Curriculum Syllabus and Outcomes documents and the Draft Writing Brief of the new Science and Technology K-6 Curriculum Syllabus (2008).

Learning in this Key Learning Area is supported by the allocation of one 90 minute session per week or a Science Block over 2-3 days each term for students in Years K-6 to develop their skills in:

• Investigating Scientifically
• Designing and Producing
• Science and Technology in Practice

The school's 'Science and Technology Policy' documents our beliefs, strategies and processes for effective teaching and learning in this Key Learning Area.

Staff at St Kevin’s Catholic School are committed to the delivery of quality education through the implementation of 'Integrated Units of Learning' that cover a range of Key Learning Areas across Kindergarten - Year 6, in addition to implementing ‘Stand Alone’ units using a variety of resources including Nuffield Science and the 'Primary Connections' Program that has been developed by the Australian Academy of Science.
