Last week, our Junior School students celebrated National Science Week with hands-on learning inspired by this year’s theme, Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All.

Prep to Year 3 explored seeds, plant growth and life cycles by creating cress heads and seed bombs, while Years 4 to 6 welcomed Street Science for an interactive STEM experience filled with demonstrations and hands-on problem-solving.

A fantastic celebration of curiosity, critical thinking and discovering how STEM helps us understand the world around us.
