Year 7 students have been exploring Earth and space this term. They used a space-time simulator to see how mass affects gravity and how objects interact in space. It was great to see students engaging with these concepts.
🧁 A BIG THANK YOU! ❤️
A huge thank you to all our students who purchased items from the bake sale on and after Spirit Day!
Your support helped make it a success. We’re proud that some of the profits will go towards the Lions Institute Special Children’s Day Out, helping support a wonderful cause in our community. 🦁💛
Thank you for your generosity and for making a difference!

Year 7 students recently presented their finished Simple Machines to the rest of the cohort during STEM. They presented their designs, finished products, and asked some really good questions! It was great to see our students' creativity, hard work, and knowledge of simple machines come to life. Year 7 students will begin a new STEM project this term, and we look forward to sharing their progress with you. - Science Department
