Physics

Choose a subject
We inspire our students to:
• Follow their sense of wonder at how the world and the Universe work
• Be curious about understanding how Physics applies to the world around us and explains the natural phenomena in the Universe
• Have and pursue a restless curiosity to push their knowledge and understanding beyond boundaries
• Develop an interest and joy in Physics that will stay with them for life
• Never stop asking “why” or “how”

We develop students who are:
• Scientifically literate such that students can use appropriate language and mathematics to precisely describe and explain scientific concepts
• Critical thinkers who question and test what they have been taught and how it fits with their understanding of what they know already
• Problem solvers who thrive on the challenge of applying their knowledge to embrace and tackle unfamiliar problems and link together different key ideas to explain more complex phenomena
• Resilient scientists who recognise that surprising outcomes are a fundamental part of Science, and develop ways of thinking to respond to the unexpected

Most of all we want our students to enjoy their experience of Physics at DRHS.
