   learning.

The ITEP program is committed to providing students
with opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.

This may include:
 - Big STEM Day Out!
 - GIRLS in STEM seminar
 - MOD
 - Space Discovery Centre.
 - Industry Tours
 - University Programs and Tour
 - National and International STEM Trips
 - NCCS Coding competition

The program will focus on applying the engineering design
process to solve problems using innovative technologies
including coding, 3D printing, and laser cutting. The curriculum
will include a balance of theoretical knowledge and practical
skills.

Students will have access to specialised STEM teachers
from years 7-10.

It is expected that students entering the ITEP Program
will:
- complete senior mathematics (Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics)
- complete two of senior Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Psychology
- participate in competitions, excursions and clubs
- lead the school values of United, Passionate and Accountable

- Expose students to innovative learning opportunities and
industry standard technologies
- Utilise relationships with Industry and Universities for
student benefit and program enrichment
- Equip students with technical skills that can be applied
in higher education and future careers in STEM
- Foster an environment of creativity, critical thinking and
problem solving
- Providing mentoring by utilising current and past
students
