STEM

At Beaconsfield Primary School we place a high level of importance on an integrated STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) curriculum. Through STEM, children engage creatively in real world problems, applying their understanding of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in integrated and innovative ways. Beaconsfield Primary School has been involved in a number of projects and competitions. These include:

National Science Week
Game Changers where we have won numerous awards
Lego League
Stem Studio – an after school program where dedicated students can work together in preparation for upcoming events and challenges

We use a range of traditional and digital technologies for teaching and learning. Included in these facilities are approximately 150 devices, our student managed Kitchen Garden and state of the art audio-visual equipment that students access and manage to run assemblies, concerts and other performances.
