LAUNCHING TIMBARRA’S STEAM CENTRE
We are delighted to announce that Timbarra College is building a state-of-the-art Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) Centre for students in Years 5-9. This marks the final stage of our building program.
Our STEAM Centre will be a unique facility that will advance the development of 21C technology centred skills.
Whilst all students will have access to our STEAM Centre, we are also adding a STEAM Academy to our current Academy programs. In 2021, Year 7 students will be able to access this Academy and over time, the Academy will expand to include Years 8 and 9.
We have a dedicated team of teachers, led by Mr Michael Molinia, who are busy planning an integrated STEAM curriculum for all students in Years 5-9 alongside the more specialised Year 7 STEAM Academy program.
To ensure that we are consistent with our program development, we have developed a shared vision and mission statement, which will be used by all teachers to guide their planning and teaching. We would like to share it with our Community
Vision statement:
Timbarra’s vision for STEAM education is to inspire students to become creative and innovative problem-solvers by integrating science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics to create solutions to real-world problems.
Mission statement:
Timbarra’s STEAM program will:
-
Immerse students in project-based learning.
-
Develop design-thinking, critical and creative thinking skills.
-
Encourage students to work collaboratively to solve real-world problems.
-
Integrate education in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
-
Create opportunities for students to enhance learning through community partnerships.
We are very excited for this new addition to our Teaching and Learning program and facilities at Timbarra P-9 to further complement our programs and academies (Sport and Music).
Please feel free to contact the College if you would like further information. Unfortunately due to COVID -19 we are unable to conduct tours at this particular time but staff are more than happy to follow up via telephone.
Stay safe and take care
