Coding on Tuesday

Code Camp facilitates a lunchtime Coding program each term for Years 2 to 6 students. The sessions are facilitated by Code Camp tutors and run on Tuesday lunchtime from 1.30pm to 2.30pm in the School Hall.

Code Camp allows kids to hone their coding skills and keep practising through weekly sessions over the term! Students will produce multiple games and apps using our exciting online platform Code Camp World! We have made Code Camp World as accessible as possible so students can truly focus on the fun aspects of coding and carry on their journey at home. Each week students will choose the features they want to build, and advance their problem-solving skills to build these features using code. They will take ownership over their projects and collaborate with their peers to make awesome apps!

The nine session Term 2 program concludes next Tuesday, 23 June (week 10).

Students in Years 2 to 6 | Robotics lunchtime program is an 8-week hands-on journey into the exciting world of robotics and coding!

Each week, students will bring robots to life as they explore real-world programming and design challenges. From navigating mazes to solving logic puzzles, dancing robots to friendly wrestling matches, every session unlocks new ways to build, code, and create. With a strong focus on teamwork and innovation, kids will develop vital STEM skills while having a blast with technology.
