HOUR OF CODE: ESCAPE ESTATE

Students in the Stage 2 Digital Technology HPAG Group have been developing their coding skills by trying to escape Dr. Breakowski’s mysterious mansion by dawn in this Hour of Code lesson. Students solved puzzles using computational thinking and a series of codes to unlock secrets, open trap doors, and reveal hidden clues. 

GERRIC Workshops

The Junior Scientia program run by the University of NSW is designed for gifted and talented primary school students in Years 3-6. All workshops are developed and presented by experienced teachers who are qualified or experienced in gifted education. They possess the expertise and skills to encourage the interests and pique the curiosity of gifted children.  To provide an appropriate level of rigour and challenge for gifted students, the level of difficulty of the workshops is set two years above the enrolled school level of the child. The workshop structure is also designed to further develop social skills and provide an opportunity for gifted students to meet like-minded peers with similar interests. Please see https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/gerric-student-programs-online-january-2023-tickets-404393661327 for more information
