STEM
STEM learning develops students’ ability to think critically, work collaboratively and apply knowledge in real-world contexts.
At Casey Grammar School, our STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) encourages students from Foundation to Year 6 to become curious, creative, and confident problem-solvers.
Learning is guided by the Engineering Design Process: Define, Plan, Make, Test, Reflect. This encourages students to design and improve solutions using tools like iPads, robotics, electronics, and construction materials. Tasks integrate scientific knowledge, technological tools, engineering thinking, and mathematical reasoning.
From the early years, students build computational thinking skills, progressing to coding, robotics, and digital design. In STEM classrooms, students work independently, in pairs and in teams, mirroring the collaborative and individual challenges they’ll face in life.
Explicit teaching ensures clarity and structure, while goal setting empowers students to take ownership of their learning. Our aim is to equip every student with the skills, confidence, and creativity to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
