Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, data analysis, climate science, energy solutions and healthcare are set to transform the jobs of tomorrow. Here at Yeppoon State High School, we strive to develop our students to become lifelong learners and to question their surroundings. Students benefit from a tailored approach to learning Year 10 science with introduction to senior subjects.
Students in Year 11 and Year 12 science often participate in excursions and camps to support their learning. These include camps to Konomie Island Environmental Education Centre, where students use the centre facilities as well as our own Rigid Inflatable Boat and fleet of small motor-powered boats. Students develop the skills to enable them to gain their boating licence through Aquatic Practices. Extracurricular activities include the YSHS Astronomy Club where students have access to 10 and 12-inch Dobsonian telescopes to broaden their knowledge of the solar system. Teachers and staff in the science department build strong partnerships with the community, including industry and university partnerships.
