The Science strands provide opportunities for students to develop a scientific view of the world. Science Understanding consists of four sub-strands:

Mathematics is a fascinating and powerful subject that plays a crucial role in our daily lives. It enables us to understand the world around us, from the natural laws that govern the universe to the financial systems that drive our economies. Mathematics provides a framework for logical thinking and problem-solving that is essential in many fields, including science, engineering, and technology.

At Piara Waters Senior High School, we believe in the importance of 21st-century learning, which involves equipping students with the skills they need to succeed and thrive in the modern world. We focus on embedding skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking to build a strong foundation to create global citizens.

We promote a hands-on approach to learning that emphasises real-world applications of mathematics, through the three strands of the Western Australian Curriculum:

In addition, we encourage students to make connections between mathematical concepts and other subject areas such as English, Geography and Science. By making these connections, our students develop a deeper understanding of mathematics and its applications in the wider world.

Inclusivity is a fundamental value of our school, and we are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment that caters to the diverse needs of all students. Our teachers are experienced and dedicated professionals who use a range of teaching strategies and resources to support the learning needs of every student. For academically able students we offer opportunities to extend their knowledge by stretching and challenging their understanding, reasoning, and problem-solving techniques through higher order cognitive thinking.
