ICSTEM Students Explore the World of Arduino Programming
Students from iCreate STEM recently took part in an engaging hands-on workshop with Arduino microcontrollers, where they explored the basics of programming and electronics. During the session, students learned how to write simple code to control components such as LEDs and sensors, gaining first-hand experience in how software interacts with hardware. The workshop encouraged experimentation and problem-solving, with students troubleshooting their designs and refining their ideas as they worked. Excellent work young scientists!

Harmony Day - Thursday March 19
Harmony Day 2026 was celebrated with a smoking ceremony conducted by the Bunurong Land Council. This was followed by a speech by student Thi Nguyen from Senior School sharing her experience moving from Vietnam to Australia and reflecting on diversity, inclusion and a sense of belonging and community. This speech was followed by many performances from students of varied cultural backgrounds including students from - Vietnam, Philippines, India and Pacific Islands nations. The final part of the session was the Parade where nationalities were announced for students to walk around the arena in their cultural groups with flags of the countries they represented. Thank you to everyone involved in Harmony Day.
What can I learn?

If you are interested in having instrumental lessons as school, talk to Mr Coco and he will talk to you about any questions you may have. The lesson time changes each week, so you don’t miss out on the same class every time. Lesson times are 35 minutes in duration.
Lesson fees are $100 for the year and an extra $100 for instrument hire. (For Drums, guitar/bass guitar or Piano/ Keyboard instrumental hire does not apply). If you are eligible for the CSEF (if your parents/guardians) have a Health Care Card, you don’t have to pay these fees. If you are unsure, ask Mr Tran at the front office.
Instrumental music enrolment forms may be collected from the front office or from Mr Coco or Mrs Mcalister (Instrumental Music room).
