Orbispace - Pitch For The Planet!

A huge congratulations our Orbispace girls who represented us at the Pitch for the Planet competition today! They presented their Green Stream idea with confidence, answered questions thoughtfully and competed extremely well, only just missing out on a place in the Grand Final. Grace was lucky enough to be selected to present the Acknowledgement of Country and did a phenomenal job. We are incredibly proud of how they worked together, represented themselves and took on such a big challenge well done, girls! 👏

We would also like to say a huge thank you to Orbispace, STEM Enrichment and the Central West Academy of STEM Excellence for making this opportunity possible!

The train is expected back at Lithgow Train Station around 6:00pm.

Our K–1 students had an awesome time at BMEC yesterday watching Bluey’s Big Play!

The students absolutely loved it, and it was a fantastic opportunity to experience live theatre while connecting with the performance and storytelling skills they’ve been exploring in class.

Lots of smiles, lots of laughs and plenty of Bluey fun! 🐶💙
