Seeds of Science

This year the theme of Australian Science Week was “Seeds of Science”. As a school we had the opportunity to ignite seeds of curiosity through several different programs run at school. 

The secondary students experienced up close and personal the way the human body functions, and the wonders of deep space in our Virtual Reality incursions. Some students also worked through some real-world investigations of “Seed Science”. They explored the conditions that were needed for different seeds to germinate, sprout and eventually grow well. Out the front of the Middle School Science Labs is a display of this hands on work that was very ably put together by Mrs Koralage our fantastic Laboratory Technician.

While the primary student’s curiosity has given sprout in the workshops that they completed in collaboration with Moose Toys. 

These seeds of curiosity planted during this week will give rise to trees of enthusiasm that will bear fruit in a number of the students learning journey’s here at Lakeside College. 

A special thanks to all the staff and parents who have contributed to this years events. Your contribution has made a difference in the lives of our whole community. 

Blessings,
