🧪 Science Week 2026 🧫
If it bubbled, puzzled or tasted good… it happened this Science Week! Each day brought hands‑on discovery, curiosity and plenty of smiles as students explored the theme of seeds, reactions, culture and problem‑solving.
🌱 Monday – Seed Match Challenge
Students put their observation skills to the test, matching seeds of all shapes and sizes, and looking a little closer at the natural world around them.
🔍 Tuesday – Seed Scavenger Hunt
Seed images were hidden across campus, and students raced to find as many as they could before swapping their discoveries for prizes.
🍬 Wednesday – Sweet Science: Sherbet Making
Students explored acid-base reactions by making sherbet – learning the science behind the fizz while enjoying a tasty treat.
🫖 Thursday – Tea Tasting
Students discovered how science, culture and native plants connect, tasting native teas and learning how First Nations peoples have long used plants and seeds for food and flavour.
🧩 Friday – Escape Room
Eight mini puzzles, one final code – students used teamwork, speed and clever thinking to crack the challenge and claim their prize (bragging rights too!)
A huge thank you to our Science Ambassadors: Genevieve D, Lily J, Maddie J, Lillian B, Emileigh C and Chloe W for their enthusiasm and hard work throughout the week, and to our incredible Science Department staff for bringing these activities to life 🔬💚🙌
