Developing creativity and critical thinking through STEM
Lower school students have one lesson a week in the STEM room where they develop their capabilities in critical and creative thinking as they learn to: generate and evaluate knowledge, clarify concepts and ideas, seek possibilities, consider alternatives, and solve problems.

With the Great Southern Trade Training Centre on site, KSHS Students get an early start towards a Vocational Pathway in the Automotive and Engineering Industries if they choose to.

🎨 Year 7 STEM Design Challenge! 🚀
Our Year 7 STEM students took on an exciting challenge—designing and creating their very own personalised bag tags!
Using design thinking, creativity, and digital modelling skills, students planned, drafted, and produced unique tags that truly reflect their personalities. Each design showcased amazing imagination and problem-solving skills. We are so proud of their efforts and the pride they took in bringing their ideas to life
Well done, Year 7! 👏✨

🌈 Are Packaged Foods Healthy? 🌈
Shared by School Health Nurse Jess
It can feel tricky to choose healthy options when so many snacks come in packets!
Here’s what you need to know:
🔍 Ultra-processed foods often contain added sweeteners, colors, flavors, and preservatives. They’re usually high in salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats, which can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
✅ Packaged food can be healthy—it depends on the ingredients and processing.
Tip: Always check the Nutrition Information Panel and look for:
✔ Low saturated fat, salt, and sugar
✔ High fibre
Try these healthy snacks and drinks instead:
🍿 Plain popcorn or rice crackers
🥛 Water or plain milk
🥞 Plain pikelets or crumpets
🥣 Plain yoghurt
🍎 Fruit and nut mix
💡 Small swaps make a big difference for your family’s health!
