Impact of STEM culture
The aim of this STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) program is to arm our students with the skills they need to enter a workforce where 75% of the fastest growing occupations require STEM skills. STEM education at Casula High School is not just about the deep understanding of STEM, but also about related skills such as problem solving, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.
