Science

Our Science faculty provide a diverse range of subjects with many exciting learning opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, with the vision of extending student knowledge and fostering a life-long interest in Science.

Students can study Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Agriculture and Primary Industries at Corowa High School and do so with fantastic facilities and a number of insightful excursions and incursions. Students visit the Murray River, the CSU Wagga Chemistry Department and Senior students can attend HSC study days to help prepare them for examinations.

Students have access to exceptional laboratory equipment and various chemicals which are used during practical lessons to enrich our Science program. We are only of only a few school to have DNA extraction and gel electrophoresis equipment on site, meaning that we do not have to visit university laboratories to access this technology.

As in all subjects, students can access Google Classroom to continue their learning outside the classroom and find useful information relative to each learning unit.

Agriculture

Corowa High School is located on extensive grounds, making it the ideal location for an authentic and hands-on Agriculture program. With a well-established vineyard, spacious farming area, numerous livestock and experienced staff, our Agriculture program provides opportunities for students to study viticulture, animal husbandry and farming practices. 

As one of the only schools in NSW with a vineyard on-site, our students have the unique opportunity of studying Viticulture as they participate in each step of making our annual wine vintage.
