Ethics is knowing the difference between right and wrong. Recently, Unit 3 Biology students used a variety of hats and lenses when looking at different  biological case studies. They were able to apply the bioethical concepts and approaches and be able to engage in some great discussions.

Year 8 SEALP

Students have been researching, designing, planning, modifying and engineering their socks off in our bespoke STEAMWORKS area and creating Self Watering Wheels, for their final Learning Task. 

Nothing was off the table - ideas were drawn up, scrapped, redesigned. Prototypes built and modified, designed in TinkerCAD and then created using the 3D printers. We even had some help from our resident 3D printer 'guru' Jensen, who helped Jake to splice his design - ready to print.
