About the program:

The STEM CPP aims to create strong partnerships between local schools and industry, with the goal of highlighting local STEM careers and opportunities and providing avenues for students to develop their STEM skills in an engaging and rewarding way.

As part of the program, Stage 4 and 5 students work on STEM inquiry-based projects to address challenges faced by the local community. The program is flexible in its delivery and is mapped against the curriculum.

Additionally, you have the option of being partnered with a STEM professional who will provide an insight into industry applications for your lessons. Students will be able to present their solutions to the local community at an end-of-year project showcase.

In addition, students will have access to STEM industry visits throughout the year and will be invited to apply for STEM work experience opportunities in Year 10. These opportunities will expose students to a range of different STEM opportunities and education pathways that lead to exciting local STEM careers.
