Physical Sciences is a vital component of a successful high school career.  Knowing about the workings of the universe is a vital part of a complete education.  Physical Sciences students are encouraged to develop their reasoning skills and deductive competence.  It is perhaps for this reason that universities still require prospective students to have passed Physical Sciences (and Mathematics) at a high level for admission to many courses.  Science graduates are highly regarded in the workplace and are in demand as teachers, researchers and in management positions. Practicals (experiments) will be included in the portfolio which will be internally assessed on an ongoing basis.

Students wishing to take Physical Sciences should have an ability to appreciate natural phenomena, be curious as to how the universe works, have an above average numerical ability and an ability to formulate logical deductions.  Although Physical Sciences is not a ‘difficult’ subject, it requires regular, systematic study.
