What an incredible day for STEM at Newman SHS!
The Newman SHS & CME STEM Showcase was a huge success, bringing together Newman SHS students, our visiting Year 5 and 6 students, primary schools, industry and community partners to celebrate the exciting future of STEM learning in Newman.
A very special thank you to CME and BHP for their ongoing partnership and support in helping us create authentic, industry-relevant STEM opportunities for our students.
We were honoured to welcome WA Education Minister Sabine Winton, Member for Pilbara Kevin Michel MLA, and Pilbara Director of Education Ash King to the Showcase. Their attendance highlighted the importance of STEM education and the strong partnerships between schools, industry and the wider community.
We also thank our visiting primary schools, staff, community members and industry partners who attended and helped make the day such a success.
But most importantly β we could not be prouder of our Newman SHS students!
Our secondary students stepped up as STEM leaders, mentors and ambassadors, confidently leading activities, demonstrating their skills and inspiring our visiting Year 5 and 6 students. Seeing our students share their knowledge, problem-solve, collaborate and encourage younger students was a fantastic reflection of the capabilities we are developing at Newman SHS.
From robotics and coding to engineering challenges, innovation and problem-solving, the day showcased just how much STEM learning at Newman SHS has grown and the incredible opportunities now available to our students.
The Showcase was about more than technology. It was about inspiring the next generation, building 21st Century skills, connecting learning with industry and creating strong pathways for our young people to succeed β right here in Newman.
We are incredibly proud of our students, our staff and the Newman community.
A huge congratulations to everyone involved in making the 2026 Newman SHS & CME STEM Showcase such a memorable and successful event!
Newman students today. Pilbara innovators tomorrow.
