STEP Anatomy by Dissection

In our Anatomy by Dissection sessions, we explore the anatomy of various animals. From dissecting a squid to an owl pellet, each session offers a unique learning experience.

Exploring organs, tissues, and structures first-hand has increased my understanding and interest of biology and truly made me more interested in the topic.

Personally, my favourite dissection was the toad, as it allows you to really gain knowledge on the complexities of the entire organism, and it truly fascinated me.

STEP Superchef

Our amazing Superchef students got to experience some fantastic fine dining when they went on an excursion to William Angliss Institute, they were also able to fit in a stop at Brunetti’s and the amazing array of cakes at Flinders Lane in Melbourne CBD (the cakes were delish!) …we are all very jealous!

This inspired them to create their own cannoli, muffins and churros at PSC! Well done Foodies! 😊

The students had a wonderful time at Quantum Victoria learning the basics of programming robots to complete challenges. In the afternoon there was a very exciting space exploration themed robot competition. The students will spend Term Two preparing for the RoboCup Regional competition in July. Nice work everyone!
