Science Incursion

Last Tuesday, we had Trevor Atkinson (aka The Jolly Professor) and Mark Broughton (aka Rusty the Robot) from Jollybops Science travel from NSW to Goondiwindi to present their 'Science with an Indigenous Perspective' show to our students for National Science Week. The show included humour, links to First Nations science techniques, loads of experiments, lots of student involvement and a musical number at the end. All students, including our Goondiwindi Kindy visitors, were emersed and engaged in this fun-filled science presentation.  

Here is what some of our students, staff and visitors had to say:

"Rusty was so funny! I really liked when the hydrogen balloon popped and how the dry ice drum knocked the cups off their heads." ~ Lane 4S
