🔬🌱 Science has been taking root across Rosebank this week as we celebrate National Science Week 2026 and this year’s theme, ‘Seeds of Science – celebrating how ideas take root and develop’.
From circuits and seismic waves to puzzles, algorithms and some serious problem-solving, students have been putting their scientific thinking to the test through a week of hands-on challenges, discovery and friendly House competition.
Each morning, Homerooms have joined forces for our daily Science Week Quiz, racing to solve questions, earn bonus points and climb the House leaderboard. At lunchtime, the competition has continued with the Archimedes Challenge, where student teams have represented their Houses in practical challenges designed to test their creativity, logic, teamwork and scientific know-how.
There has been plenty happening in the lab and beyond – building electrical circuits, designing earthquake-resistant structures, tackling the Tower of Hanoi and solving scientific puzzles – all demonstrating how curiosity and a single idea can grow into discovery.
With House points and prizes on the line, the competitive spirit has certainly been alive – but so too has the curiosity, collaboration and enthusiasm that sit at the heart of science. Congratulations to O'Connor who won the daily quizzes, Brady SS1 who was the fastest homeroom with all correct answers twice and Caufield who won the Archimedes challenge!
A fantastic celebration of asking questions, testing ideas and discovering what’s possible.
Happy National Science Week!
