New head science teacher

Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus Science Faculty has new staff including a new head teacher, Mr Brett Giles.

Mr Giles said: "I hope to deliver a subject area that is interesting, challenging, dynamic and above all enjoyable for all of those involved.

"We want students to learn through a range of experiences so that we can develop independent learners as a part of a long life of learning.

"I welcome Mr David Dobeson and Ms Megan Clement to our staff.

"I look forward to the challenge of running the Science Faculty and also looking after Team 5 which is responsible for 7S1, 7D2, 8D2 A 8D3."

All students across the school have now been issued with an assessment policy for the entire year in science.

They have been asked to paste this into the front of their books and should be familiar with its content.

A number of BWSC students will be competing in the annual Australasian Science Competition run by the University of New South Wales.

This is to be held in early May.

This Thursday, March 26, will see the district science consultant Ms Janette Rothapfel visit the school to conduct talks and accompanying slide show presentation about "space travel" and "living in space".

Selected students will be asked to attend as a reward for their application and involvement in the classroom.
