At Warrnambool West Primary School, STEM is hands-on, curiosity-driven, and focused on solving real-world problems. Fully aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, our program ensures students build essential academic foundations while actively bringing science and technology to life.

Rather than just memorising theories, our students think like scientists, design like engineers, and innovate with modern tools.

An Integrated Approach to Science
Our STEM program mirrors the real world by connecting the four core strands of the Victorian Science Curriculum:

• Biological Sciences: Understanding living things and ecosystems.
• Chemical Sciences: Investigating materials, chemical reactions, and manufacturing.
• Physical Sciences: Exploring the mechanics of forces, motion, energy, and light.
• Earth & Space Sciences: Uncovering the dynamics of our planet, weather, and the solar system.

Designing & Coding for the Future
In our tech-focused classrooms, we emphasise the two key areas of the Victorian Technologies Curriculum to ensure your child becomes an active creator of solutions rather than a passive consumer of devices:

• Digital Technologies: Building critical thinking and logic through coding and programming.
• Design and Technologies: Using imagination and hands-on tools to prototype and test projects.

Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders: The GALS Program
We are proud to partner with Deakin University to deliver the GALS program. This unique initiative inspires our female students to become confident leaders in science and technology. It provides a wonderful platform for girls to explore their passions, build genuine expertise, and see themselves as the future innovators of our world.
