Year 8 Science

The Year 8 students have been learning about different forms of energy and how different energy transformations are used in our day-to-day lives.

As part of the Science learning program, a small group of students represented the College in the 2018 ‘Synergy Schools Solar Challenge’. The Solar Challenge is a joint initiative between Synergy and the Science Teachers’ Association of Western Australia. It enables students to immerse themselves in Science, Technologies and Mathematics (STEM) by building and racing solar powered model cars.

St Norbert College representatives Angel Baiju, Jasmine Irvine and Charlize Williams were among more than 1,000 Year 6 and Year 8 students from around the State participating in the Challenge. These young women proudly represented the College and demonstrated some strong problem-solving, communication and technical skills. However, the tough competition meant they were unable to qualify for the next stage in the Challenge.

I would like to congratulate our students on how they represented the College and hope it inspires them to go on to further STEM experience.
