Loreto Kirribilli continually evaluates its approach to teaching and learning. In light of government initiatives and industry needs, the school has spent the past three years carefully redeveloping its approach to engaging young women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics from kindergarten to Year 12. The resulting 100-hour course for Loreto Kirribilli’s Year 9 students embraces the school’s core values of justice and felicity, teaching students to look outward and engage with STEM-based projects that have changed the lives of marginalised, displaced and desperately poor people. Students used these examples to understand how simple technologies like chlorine lights, terracotta air conditioning units, simple electrical projects and biometric sensors can improve living conditions and help people deal with personal loss or hardship.
