Science and Technology ​are intertwined within our core offerings at JPC. Students develop transferable skills from Year Seven through experiencing hands-on Science, Design, Digital and Technologies programs.Â
These transferable problem-solving skills and processes transcend subject-specific content and enable students to develop solutions to the complex problems that challenge them within each subject. It is with these skills that students will be well equipped to deal with the modern world that awaits them after Secondary School.Â
