Welcome to Felicity Rickett, our new ACEO. She has experience working in schools as an SSO and in home support. Felicity will be getting to know the students and is looking to meeting family members this term and at the First Nations Celebration of Learning on Monday 10th November, which will be after school. Please save the date.
Aboriginal Learners STEM Congress Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th September
Four Year 6 First Nations students attended the Aboriginal Learners STEM Congress at Adelaide Oval for 2 days. They heard inspirational speakers who work in the STEM area and listened to Dem Mob and learned how they make their music electronically. They made a canoe, using alfoil, pop sticks and tape and then put them in water and put ping pong balls in to see how many they could before it sunk. One group managed 15 balls. We also visited the Zoo and the task was to design a trap that could capture an animal safely so it could be tagged. The second task was to use a map to find specific animals and answer a question about each animal. The students were engaged and excellent representatives for our school.
