In 2017, Thornlie Senior High School began its journey into the world of STEM, with a focus on creating a sustainable future. In 2020 we advanced this program to include a Digital Literacy Program which is available by application only starting in Year 7. Students continue through this program as they advance through Secondary School. To be eligible for this program students must be able to participate in the BYOD program. More information is available on BYOD both in the Digital Literacy brochure and on this website. We are fortunate to have many teachers with STEM backgrounds offering our students a wide variety of programs to engage in, namely:
- Design and Technology – Certificate II in Engineering, as well as a wide array of Technology Courses
