Software, Design and Development (SDD)
Year 11 Projects were completed at the end of last term. Students were required to design, build and test an interactive game for enjoyment and this was judged for the degree of complexity. Students were also required to submit a report on how they developed the game. All students completed excellent games but two students were exceptional. Congratulations to Michael Hingston and Kaileb McDonald for a wonderful submission. I am sure they will let you have a game with them.
All the students in the SDD classes in Year 11 and Year 12 competed in the Bebras Computional Thinking Challenge. It was a competition involving over 60 other countries and 2.9 million students. It was an exciting experience.
Several students produced outstanding results. In Year 11 Michael Hingston and Danielle Wrigley and in Year 12 Tharuki Gamagedara and Clyde Tordecillas. Well done!!
