STEM

The STEM Room is operational.

While the room is small in stature, it provides a much needed space for students to create and explore. Throughout the junior years teachers are trialling a number of STEM related initiatives and enrichment activities are on offer to all year levels.

Female students in years 7 and 8 are currently participating a Trans-Tasman Egg Drop challenge, with the final to be held the last week of term. Programming club is running every Tuesday lunch in Room 11 and is open to students of all ages and abilities.

Next term students will have the opportunity to build and compete within a Blue Team environment and the school will commence the build of a smart weather station.

Our student STEM Captain, Sam Wakelam, and our Leading Teacher for e-Learning and Pedagogy, Lyndsey Thickins, featured in an article of the Australian Teacher Magazine. The article is available here: https://www.teachermagazine.com.au/article/stem-captain-leading-the-way.

Students who are interested in participating in STEM events should visit Mr McGrath in the STEM Staffroom between Rooms 11 and 12.
