Magis report

Save the date

Next week our Years 7 and 8 Semester 2 Magis elective students will be displaying their Personal Projects in an exhibition held at the Thomas More Exhibition Centre (TMEC). This will mark the culmination of many months of hard work and planning. The Personal Project Assessment forms a major component of our elective course and is based on the International Baccalaureate program but modified to suit younger students and the timeframe within which the course is run. Students are challenged to choose a project related to a major interest or passion of theirs. A list of exhibits can be found below. This exhibition is a very special event on the Magis calendar for it allows us to come together to celebrate the talents of our students. We would like to extend an invitation to our College community - students, staff, and parents. The exhibition will run from 7:30 - 8:45am on Thursday 23 November.

Are you interested in pursuing astronomy, engineering, or data science as a career path? Join high school girls and other underrepresented genders for a free Astronomy Day Camp from 23 to 25 January 2024, hosted by the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR). This camp is open to all high school students in Years 9 to 12 whose gender identities are underrepresented in astronomy, engineering, or data science.

Highlights include:

Meet and talk with women who have made their careers in astrophysics, engineering and data science;
Use research-grade telescopes to take and process your own deep space images and take part in a night-time stargazing event; and
Visit leading space research centres, including Curtin and UWA ICRAR campuses, along with a visit to the Pawsey Supercomputer Research Centre.
