The Da Vinci STEM programme, an initiative unique to Catholic schools, is centred on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The programme caters for students with high academic potential in Year 5 and Year 6 in our regional Catholic schools. It enables selected students to meet with their intellectual peers to strengthen their understanding of the process of scientific investigation, whilst developing the skills of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, design-thinking and problem-solving.
For selection into the programme, students must be nominated by their classroom teacher, as well as submit an application form, along with a copy of their school report. The programme is divided into two semester-long programmes.
Students selected for the Da Vinci STEM programme attend Holy Cross College on Thursday mornings, 9.00am – 10.45am.
