**Location Profile**:
**About John Monash Science School**

In 2010, The Department of Education and Training and Monash University collaborated to develop a secondary school designed to advance students with an interest in sciences, mathematics, and associated technologies. John Monash Science School is the expression of this unique educational partnership. Monash University has committed significant resources and has dedicated staff in both the Faculties of Education and Science to support students and staff of our school.

The vision for John Monash Science School is to be a nationally and internationally recognised centre for excellence in innovative research-based teaching and learning in the later years of secondary science, mathematics, associated technologies, resource development and pedagogy. The school will contribute to Victoria's, and the Nation's, long term economic, social, cultural and environmental goals through delivery of high quality and innovative education.

John Monash Science School will:
1. engage students through innovation in a relevant and integrated curriculum and investigation
- based learning approaches;
2. provide pathways into senior secondary and university studies for high achievers pursuing Science and Mathematics;
3. develop high quality effective teaching strategies to be shared amongst teachers throughout the state; and

4. provide ongoing up-to-date knowledge in rapidly advancing areas of science.

**Learning Environment and Curriculum**

At John Monash Science School, we focus on providing students not only an education of the highest academic standard, but one which also encourages independent, creative thinking. Working with like-minded peers, expert teachers, and taking advantage of world-class facilities, students at our school are challenged and supported to grow and develop holistically in order to achieve their goals.

Inquiry-based learning is one teaching and learning approach at our school. Some of the documented benefits of this style of learning are that it:

- teaches problem-solving, critical thinking skills, and disciplinary content
- promotes the transfer of concepts to new problem questions
- teaches students how to learn and builds self-directed learning skills
- These skills are essential for our students to develop into 'life-long learners' and give them an advantage for any further studies they choose to undertake.
