The Science Active School Program is a new initiative by SASTA to recognise and promote schools that show a high level of engagement in science education.
Teachers have a unique capacity to promote excitement about science and impact student outcomes. This award recognises the dedication, innovation, and engagement of teaching staff with Science Education. Science Active Schools support and encourage the professional learning of their Science Educators through their involvement with, and support of, SASTA.
Schools who show active involvement with science education by being members of SASTA and by being involved in other science engagement activities receive:
- A certificate to display at school
- The right to display the current year’s Science Active logo in school promotional materials, such as website, newsletter, and email footer.
- The school listed on the SASTA website as a recognised Science Active school
Schools can apply to be recognised as a Science Active School here.
