KIOSC

Proud to celebrate the continued success of Build Beyond Trades — seeing students build real skills, confidence, and clear pathways through hands‑on learning is incredibly rewarding.
A huge thank you to our partners Swinburne University VET and Scoresby Secondary College for their collaboration, expertise, and commitment to creating meaningful, industry‑led experiences for young people. Together, we’re building futures. 🚧✨

Well done PrimeSci! Love your work!

Thank you to the 210+ Junior Scientists who attended one or more hands-on PrimeSCI! science workshops at Swinburne Wantirna last week! 🚀

We made poo, tested magnetic forces, sketched dinosaurs, launched bottle rockets, tested bioplastic spoons, mixed colourful potions, built and tested kites, and viewed the night sky. Phew!

Follow PrimeSCI! on Humanitix for our next School Holiday program at Swinburne Hawthorn in July 2026. 🧪🔬

🌱 Celebrating a strong Term 1 at KIOSC – with standout success in VCE Biology
Term 1 has been an incredible start to the year at KIOSC, and we’re proud to celebrate the impact our programs have had on students and teachers across our network.
A special highlight this term has been VCE Biology, where students moved beyond theory and into authentic, hands‑on learning through our VCE Biology Masterclasses, including DNA Manipulation and Genetic Technologies. These sessions enabled students to work with industry‑standard biotechnology techniques, deepening conceptual understanding while strengthening assessment readiness.
What’s made this success especially meaningful is the feedback from educators:
✅ Programs tightly aligned with VCAA Unit 3 Biology
✅ Access to practical experiences not feasible in many school settings
✅ High levels of student engagement and real‑world relevance
✅ Learning that builds confidence, curiosity, and capability
By creating opportunities that extend classroom learning, KIOSC continues to support schools in delivering rich, equitable STEM experiences—regardless of resources or location.
A huge thank you to our passionate educators, partner schools, and the students who brought energy and curiosity to every session. We’re excited to build on this momentum as the year continues.
