STEAM

It has been suggested that many of the big issues Australian society will face in the future will be around science and technology, energy, resources and climate change.  At Roslyn Primary School we believe that having our students engage in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) education will encourage them to question and inquire into the world around them.  Science forms the basis for two of our three inquiries throughout the year.

Our STEAM program allows lessons dedicated to the critical and creative thinking involved in this collaboration of curriculum.  Students explore and create solutions to problems and are engaged in creative thinking, developing problem solving skills through invention and experimentation.  

We are excited to have a specialised science and STEAM space set up in our school to cater for science and STEAM activities. 

Roslyn Primary School is extremely fortunate to be situated next-door to the ‘BioLAB – The Victorian BioScience Education Centre’, which is one of six specialist science and mathematics centres in Victoria.  We have developed a unique relationship with the BioLAB and this provides our students with additional opportunities to engage with specialised teachers using high-tech scientific and sporting equipment.  The BioLAB specialises in highlighting science and mathematics through a sports focus.
