The Natural Sciences Learning Area deals with the promotion of scientific literacy. It does this by:

• the development and use of science process skills in a variety of settings;

• the development and application of scientific knowledge and understanding; and

• appreciation of the relationships and responsibilities between science, society and the environment.

Our vision for Natural Sciences at St John’s Prep is to stimulate a fascinated and inquiring approach to the natural world. We have a well-equipped laboratory, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, and an evolving curriculum which takes account of the boys’ interests, and fosters an independent and thorough approach to learning.
