Science

This system allows students to select upto two areas from a broad range of themes in first year which set the foundation for specialisation in second and third year. A selection of specialisations are available from the types recorded. During fieldwork and technical experience pupils accept hands-on study and research in areas such as tropical rainforests, coastal wetlands, mangroves, tropical savannah, and the Great Barrier Reef, as well as in more traditional science places.
