Our school offers a wonderful array of opportunities for students to engage in co-curricular academics. These programs extend and enrich our students, building their critical thinking and analysis skills.
STEM Opportunities
Nexgen STEM Beginner course
This course is the first year of a two-year course where students have fun learning to code in Python before moving into programming hardware using Arduino. Each term students can build on their knowledge and skills in coding. This course is a prerequisite for the Intermediate course.
Nexgen STEM Intermediate course
In this second-year course, students will build on their existing coding knowledge to make more complex games and hardware.
