Talk, Dinner and Catching up
The Vicphysics Teachers’ Network invites physics teachers and others interested in physics education to gather in an informal setting for a series of dinners with a guest speaker. The guest speakers will address diverse topics touching on curriculum, pedagogy and the discipline itself. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussion and network with colleagues over dinner.

Beginning Physics Teachers’ In-Service
This in-Service will be held on Friday, 17th April during the Term 1 holidays. It will be held at John Monash Science School. Click here for the details of the In-Service and the resources supplied.
Out of Field PD for Science Teachers
This project offers out-of-field teachers an opportunity to engage deeply with curriculum by stepping them through the vertical conceptual development of the relevant key knowledge and skills in the curriculum and by explicitly working through appropriate interactive learning activities, enabling teachers to experience the content both as students and teachers.
Vicphysics is developing programs in four areas across the physics aspects of the secondary science curriculum, as well as special relativity for physics teachers. The areas are listed here. It ran a number of these programs in 2023 and 2024. They were presented in a range of online and in person formats. The funding for 2025 has enabled CRT replacement to be covered in 2026.
Just in Time PD Program
Just in Time is an after-school online program which will run again this year. It is a weekly program on a Thursday during Semester 1, the first session is on 12th Feb. For more details, click here.

The Committee meetings are now hybrid, online and in person at Melbourne Girls College in Richmond, normally on the second Wednesday of the month from 5:30pm until 7:00pm. The meetings are open to any physics teacher. If you would like to attend any meeting, please email Vicphysics. Those attending in person go to dinner afterwards at the nearby Bridge Hotel.
