🌟 A special visit to Duffy Primary School! 🌟

Today we had the wonderful opportunity to welcome Director General Jo Wood to our amazing school.

Jo spent time chatting with our leadership team and staff, and meeting our outstanding student leaders, hearing about what makes Duffy such a special place to learn and grow.

We loved showcasing our school, our people and our strong sense of community. Thank you, Jo, for taking the time to visit Duffy! 💙💚

Five teams from Duffy Primary School competed in the ACT Robocup Competition on the weekend. All participants have been coming each week to workshops and attending weekend events to work on their coding, engineering and problem solving. 🤖 🎛️⌨️

Their hard work and commitment definitely paid off as we saw Duffy come away with two first place trophies! Team FloAdLenEve not only took first place, but led by the largest margin Robocup ACT has ever seen! 🥇🏆

Duffy’s Robocup teams will continue to prepare for the Nationals Competition in the school holidays. A huge congratulations to all of our teams for their remarkable resilience, creative problem solving and outstanding perseverance when faced with challenges. 💚💚
