Year 9 

Forensic Science in Action

This week, Year 9 Forensic Science students were treated to an exciting and educational visit from Detective Troy Wickham and Crime Scene Investigator Karolyn Formosa. The duo shared their firsthand experiences working in the field of law enforcement and forensic science, offering students a unique glimpse into the world of criminal investigations. Detective Wickham discussed his role in solving complex cases, while Investigator Formosa explained the critical process of gathering and analysing evidence at crime scenes. The highlight of the session was a live demonstration on how to properly lift fingerprints, with students getting hands-on experience using the same techniques that professionals use in real cases.

The visit was an incredible opportunity for students to connect their classroom learning with real-world applications, and they were captivated by the stories and challenges shared by the experts. Detective Wickham and Investigator Harris emphasised the importance of attention to detail, critical thinking, and teamwork in solving crimes. The session not only sparked students’ curiosity about forensic science careers but also inspired them to think about how they can apply scientific methods to uncover the truth. This experience will surely leave a lasting impression on students as they continue their studies in forensic science.

Science: Investigating Bacteria

Year 9 students examined bacteria grown on AGAR plates, using swabs collected from everyday surfaces like car keys, sinks, door handles, and benches. This hands-on experiment provided fascinating insights into microorganisms and hygiene!
