Science is a core subject in Years 7-9 at Mount Rowan. Throughout these formative years the students cover 4 main strands of Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics.

There are regular excursions to the Ecolinc Centre at Bacchus Marsh and the Quantum Science Centre at La Trobe University. In Year 10, students undertake Science emersion subjects to broaden their knowledge before entering VCE. Students can select from a range of electives such as; BioChemistry, CSI – applied science, Being Human (Psychology) and Physical World (Physics). It is also at this time we would encourage students to consider undertaking a unit 1&2 study in the Sciences as early entry into their VCE pathway
