Learning and Teaching

STEM at St John's

As part of our STEM unit we are learning about the changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas. We experimented with different household liquids to see what would happen when we mixed them together. Some produced a liquid and some created solids.

The Year 3/4 students have also explored how different liquids and solids melted at different temperatures. It was very engaging and the students now have a great understanding of chemical reactions and changing states of matter.  By 3/4A

The students have really enjoyed learning from the coaches and developing their skills and confidence in theise sports. A huge thank-you to our PE teacher, Michael van Rooy for helping to coordinate these programs.

AusBike Incursion

Last week our Year 3-6 students took part in a new national program, designed by Australia's peak cycling body, AusBike, which gave our students the essential skills to experience the freedom, fun and adventure of life on a bike. AusBikers accredited coaches helped to build our students competence and confidence on two wheels and promoted their enjoyment of riding whilst arming them with essential road safety skills.
