Mission To Mars

Our students recently embarked on a thrilling "Mission to Mars" excursion to the Victorian Space Science Education Centre. The Year 8 astronomers explored the mysteries of the red planet and beyond. Hands-on activities and interactive sessions allowed students to simulate the challenges of a Mars mission, fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills. The excursion not only expanded their knowledge of astronomy but also inspired a sense of wonder which will stay with them as they continue their educational journey.
