Year 10 Biology Field Trip

Our Year 10 Biologists this term spent a day at the beach.  Point Cartwright provided a great day - rain-free - where students were able to collect data on organisms from rock pools and along the shoreline. 

Year 10 Physics Field Trip

Term 1 Physics students had the enviable experience of data collection at Aussie World, related to their course in Physics.  Whoever said "PHYSICS IS FUN" was right.
