Well Done Nicholas!

In Term Three students from various levels took on the challenge of entering the Australian National Chemistry Quiz (ANCQ). This required them to answer a range of Chemistry related questions of varying difficulty against other students in the state with all participants receiving a certificate for their efforts.

We congratulate those students who achieved a high enough score for their ANCQ 2016 entry to be awarded a credit or distinction for their efforts, in particular Nicholas Wu from Year 8 who was awarded a ‘Certificate of Class Excellence – 100%’ for his outstanding score. What a fantastic result for these students and a great encouragement for them in their future Chemistry studies.

Year 7 Healesville Sanctuary Zoo

On the 4th of October the Year 7 students braved Melbourne’s cold weather to attend Healesville Sanctuary Zoo as part of their focus on classification (the grouping of organisms).

They were told more about how and why various animals are grouped together. Students then witnessed the aerial acrobatics of some of Australia’s iconic large birds at the 'Spirits of the Wind' show before having a chance to get closer to the other animals on exhibit throughout the zoo through activities such as: feeding and patting a live Tawny Frogmouth bird, feeding some native Australian parrots and seeing the Tasmanian Devils being fed.

Primary inter-Christian school athletics

The Primary inter-Christian school athletics was held this week at Knox athletics track. Overall, St Andrews placed 3rd in a very tough competition that will prepare us perfectly for the CSEN athletics event in a few weeks time.

Chavella Tanubrata (Yr6) was the standout performer for the day, coming 1st in 100m, hurdles, and breaking the record in triple jump before breaking it again a second time with a distance of 8.46m, as well as 4th in the 800m and 2nd in the 4x100m relay. Well done Chavella!
