Spotlight on STEM

This term, our Year 8 STEM Extension students have been working collaboratively to design and construct functional prototype aquaponics systems. These prototypes, engineered to circulate water from a central holding tank through a growth bed and back, emphasize sustainable food production practices.

Through this hands-on project, students are actively exploring innovative solutions to address food insecurity and environmental challenges. This week, they brought their designs to life, building their systems over the course of two lessons. Well done, Year 8 STEM! It's inspiring to see such creative and sustainable ideas in action.
