Students at Wellington High School have many opportunities for enrichment in Science. These activities include competitions, visiting Science shows and programs, and excursions to enhance classroom learning. Our year 9 and 10 students have recently competed in the Science and Engineering Challenge.
Wellington High School achieves pleasing results in the ESSAonline assessment. ESSAonline is a statewide assessment of Science that students complete at the end of year 8.
In the senior school, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are offered. Students participate in a wide variety of learning experiences, and several excursions.
