Science Week

Great South West Engineering Competition

Well done to everyone who took part in the Great South West Engineering Competition! Our students did really well in various competitions and came up with awesome ideas to solve the engineering problems they were given. Some of them even made new friends from different schools. It was a really cool experience, and if you like science, I totally suggest you join in next year!

Primary School Visits

Students from Branxholme Wallacedale Primary School, Penshurst Primary School and Macarthur got to experience our state of the art labs and next level science during their visit this term. Designed to spark curiosity, the activities had students  creating, testing, observing and analysing. We loved having the students and were very impressed with their willingness to learn and 'can do' attitudes. 

9/10 Applied Science

We hosted a Roller Coaster Engineering Competition in our Applied Science class, and our students have done amazing work with their projects. It is inspiring to witness the creativity and dedication our students have put into problem-solving. Whether you've won or not, we are extremely proud of your efforts.

Having said that, we still want to congratulate the winners [in groups]:

First place - 26 points - [Robert Phillips, Antonia Huzony and Cj Gribbin],tie with [Charlie Evans, Archie Coates and Archie McKay].

Second place - 24 points - [Jenna Charman, Keely Beaton and Bodie Cameron]

Third Place - 23 points - [Alissa McComb, Ella Ractliffe, Coby Rice], tie with [Ayla Ewing, Maeve MacGillivray, Archie Rigby]

Honourable mention to Mischa Purcell who have built her project 3 times from scratch until she has perfected her final working product without any teacher assistance.

Senior Chemistry

The senior chemistry students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of sports science at BioLab in Geelong, analysing the use of protein by professional athletes.
