Learning and Curriculum Primary - Stage 3

Year 6 STEM Gala Day
Following the success of the event in 2023 and 2024, we are again pleased to be providing Year 6 students with the opportunity to attend a STEM Gala Day, hosted by Santa Sabina College on Wednesday, 27 August. This excursion will provide students with the opportunity to complete a range of activities which are centred on key concepts within the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Our students will work together with Years 5 and 6 students from Santa Sabina College to try and solve the different challenges they are presented with on the day.
Students will be required to make their own way to and from Santa Sabina College on the day of the excursion. Students may catch public transport, walk to Santa Sabina from Strathfield Station, or they can be dropped off by car at their equivalent ‘Kiss and Ride’ area on Jersey Road. All students will need to arrive by 8:45 AM and meet at their School Hall (to the left of the Chapel). The day will conclude at 2.30 PM and students will also need to make their own way home from Santa Sabina College. Year 6 parents/carers are asked to acknowledge consent for their son to attend via the TASS Parent Lounge or Parent Orbit App by Friday 22 August.
