Year 8 - Maths & Science

Course Overview

The Year 8 Mathematics & Science program strengthens foundational skills and introduces more challenging concepts. In mathematics, students develop skills in algebra, geometry, trigonometry and data analysis. In science, they build on their understanding of the physical and chemical world, learning how to design and conduct experiments. They learn about forces, energy, and motion, and begin to understand how these concepts explain everyday phenomena.
