Year 9 - Ecolinc

Year 9 students attended the program at Ecolinc as part of their final topic of Ecosystems. Students participated in a range of activities including reptile encounters, an ecosystems scavenger hunt, viewing samples under a microscope and an ecosystems board game. It was a great way to see students applying their classroom knowledge in a real world context!

It has been another fantastic year in Science at ECSC. We continue to be impressed by the hard work and dedication our students demonstrate in Science! Have a restful and wonderful summer break and we look forward to 2024!
