Science Beyond the Curriculum

Grammar's "Science Beyond the Curriculum" creates opportunities for boys and their parents to take part in hands-on, science-based learning. The program also provides an enjoyable, shared experience to aid parent/child communication, and a forum for parents to encourage a curiosity and inquisitiveness that goes beyond marks-oriented learning.

Activities range from mid-week evening lectures by university professors and Sunday afternoon activities for the inquisitive during term, to guided 2 and 3 day excursions to sites of scientific interest away from Sydney during the school holidays.

All participants must register to attend the activities. Application forms and further information regarding pending programs can be obtained by e-mailing Dr MR Binns at mrb@sydgram.nsw.edu.au
