STEM

At Garfield Primary School, we proudly offer our students an engaging STEM Program. STEM uses an inquiry approach to integrate skills and content from the areas of Science, Technology (Design and Digital), Engineering and Maths.

Through a range of challenges, experiments and hands on activities students are guided to solve problems and make their own discoveries. Lessons explore Science while applying the scientific, design and engineering processes.

STEM aims to develop key skills including problem solving, creativity, critical analysis and digital literacy. There is also a strong focus on collaborative learning, team work and communication.

Students participate in weekly, 60 minute sessions held in our specialised STEM Room with Mr Soutar.
