Overview

Edith Cowan believed that education is the key to growth, change and improvement. We are proud to continue her legacy by actively advancing the role of women in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM).

Mission: Our mission is to advance students’ knowledge of, and aspirations for careers in the science field.

Our Vision:  Our vision is to increase student participation rates in STEM and foster their aspiration for Higher Education.

Values: Innovation, Scholarship, Integrity, Respect, Rational Inquiry, Personal Excellence.

The School of Science operates several engagement programs for school students and adult learners across the Science discipline. Our activities have been developed to showcase STEM, skills and attributes needed to work in these fields, foster a passion for the discipline and highlight career opportunities. At times, we engage with other Schools within the university such as Medical and Health Sciences extending this to STEMM. We have several student associations who as subject ambassadors, mentors and tutors deliver these engagement activities.

“It was a great opportunity, thoroughly enjoyed the workshops and interaction with peers”

Rottnest Island: Kingdom of the Quokka documentary at Joondalup Pines

On the far west of the Australian continent, with the limitless Indian Ocean beyond, there is a set of islands whose animals defy all laws of nature.  The three islands lie side by side, but each is ruled by a different animal.  For the first time in the world we film the life-cycle of the mysterious Quokka, the Little Penguin and the Tiger Snake, using the latest filming equipment and techniques.  Rottnest Island Kingdom of the Quokka reveals their incredible secrets with an exclusive and intimate look at the inhabitants and those intertwined in their lives on the islands and in the fringing ocean. Stay after the film for a Q&A with the film’s director, Leighton De Barros, as well as ECU Marine Scientists.
Time: 6:30pm-10:00pm
Location: ECU Joondalup Campus - Joondalup Pines
