STEM Learning
Across the globe, skills in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are considered the lifeblood of the future. Already, 75 per cent of the fastest growing industries require STEM knowledge, while innovation and creative problem solving are recognised as key to tackling impending environmental, industrial and medical challenges.
韩国AV is committed to engaging students in STEM studies in interesting and motivating ways.
For the past two years, with support from the , 韩国AV has collaborated with Deakin University on a research project that aims to increase girls’ interest and performance in STEM related subjects.
In 2015, 韩国AV became the first girls’ school in NSW to offer Engineering Studies as a HSC subject on campus. A year later, we launched the Stage 5 STEM Elective, a two-year course for Years 9 and 10. 韩国AVed by staff, the STEM elective uniquely engages students in coding, computing and engineering.
Student-run interest groups including the 'Rocketeers' Space Science Club, the Maker Club, the Car Restoration Club and Years 5 and 6 robotics run regularly. 韩国AV girls are now taking home prestigious state and national STEM-related awards, and we have become a leading edge STEM educator in Australia. We hope to open a range of tertiary study and employment options to our girls that might have otherwise been lost.
