Timbarra College is building a state-of-the-art Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) Centre for students in Years 5-9.
This marks the final stage of the College’s building program.
The STEAM Centre will be a unique facility that will advance the development of 21st century technology centred skills.
While all students will have access to the centre, the school is also adding a STEAM Academy to its current Academy programs.
In 2021, Year 7 students will be able to access the Academy and over time it will expand to include Years 8 and 9.
Timbarra College has a dedicated team of teachers, led by Michael Molinia.
The team is busy planning an integrated STEAM curriculum for all students in Years 5-9, alongside the more specialised Year 7 STEAM Academy program.
To ensure consistency with program development, the College has developed a shared vision and mission statement which will be used by all teachers to guide their planning and teaching.
The College’s vision is that STEAM education inspires students to become creative and innovative problem-solvers by integrating science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics to create solutions to real-world problems.
It’s the College’s mission that the STEAM program will:
· Immerse students in project-based learning, develop design-thinking, critical and creative thinking skills,
· Encourage students to work collaboratively to solve real-world problems
· Integrate education in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics
· Create opportunities for students to enhance learning through community partnerships
