Science Week

Science Week

This year’s Science Week was held from the 15th to the 23rd of August with the theme of Deep Blue: Innovations for our oceans. We continued with our tradition of offering a range of activities outside of class time, such as our regular Daily Quiz and recommended science media viewing.

We want to say a huge thank you to all the students who participated in our Science Week activities this year! You have all made fantastic contributions to the various competitions, discussions, and smaller activities run by your teachers. And for all the families that participated at home by running some fun science experiments or watching a documentary together, we hope you were able to learn something new!

We hope you all had fun and enjoyed participating in Science Week as much as we enjoyed hosting. We look forward to seeing everyone participating in (or running!) future events and competitions.
