Term two has proven to be another busy and exciting term for our students regarding their Science and STEM studies.

Our Year 7 students have been learning about Mixtures and Separations and have been busy in the laboratories learning new separating techniques such as filtration and distillation.

Our Year 7 and 8 STEM students have built model aircraft and have analysed their flight. Year 8 students have further modified their planes to investigate the impact these modifications have on lift and flight speed.

Year 9 students have been learning about Chemistry this term and just completed their first Science Exam – they should be very proud of the hard work they put in and the results they achieved!

Finally our Year 10 students have been pursuing their interests in their chosen Science and STEM subjects. Some highlights include our Year 10 STEM student who have been using drone technology in their STEM: Mission to Mars elective subject and our Mechatronics students who have been learning about electric circuits by building Spark Robots.

We look forward to Term 3 where we will be celebrating National Science Week, students will compete in the ICAS Science Competition, and students will represent our College at both the Kids in Space showcase and the STEM MAD showcase.
