Science IA3 Masterclass

The high school science department recently hosted two after-school events for our students. It was wonderful to see so many students take the opportunity to refine their understanding of the key senior assessment task called a research investigation. The IA3 Masterclass was attended by 40 enthusiastic Year 11 and Year 12 students, paying close attention to tips about how to do well in their assignments. Students who attended also benefited from an extra opportunity to ask for specific assistance from our senior Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology teachers who volunteered their time to support the students.

STEM Quiz Night

Our STEM Ambassadors for 2025 – Jayden M, Anson K, Zoe F and Sophia K – organised and hosted a very successful STEM Quiz Night enjoyed by a range of students from Year 7 to Year 12. Quiz questions included topics on science, technology, and mathematics, as well as a bottle rocket engineering challenge, which made for a fantastically fun time, thoroughly enjoyed by all participants.

Winners of the Junior Division were Grace B, Cindy X, Bella Z and Sybelle C. 
The Senior Division winners were Micah Y, Kotaro I, Dean D, Thomas B and Simon G.

Special thanks go to our Year 12 STEM Ambassadors who also run STEM lunch club activities in C3 during Monday lunch break. They are very keen that there is talk of a second Quiz Night in Term 3, so stay tuned!
