Science

Science at MIEC gives students an opportunity to learn a wider science vocabulary and to learn the language of science. From information gathered and learnt students write description reports, information reports and explanations. They also report on their findings through listening and speaking assessments. Students experience science through excursions and visit the Science Expo, the Australian Museum and The Observatory at some time during the year.
