Students completing the Community Sports Coach IDEA’s Program delivered a Multi-sports Gala Day for the Year 3 and 4 Students this week. This event was the culmination of learning how to plan and deliver sports clinics to meet the needs of a specific participant group. Senior School students developed their communication, teamwork, problem solving and leadership skills as they planned for and delivered the clinic. It was fantastic to see the students build rapport with the Year 3 & 4 students and deliver what was a successful sports clinic. Thank you to the Year 3 & 4 Students and Teachers for participating in this real-life learning activity for our Senior School students.

This Term in Year 8 Science students have been learning about Energy Transformation. Below are examples of some of the practical, engaging activities students have been tasked with to apply their knowledge.

Energy Transformation

Have you very wanted to move a golf ball without touching it? Well that is what the year 8’s were tasked with. Using their knowledge of the different types of energy and their transfers and transformations the Year 8’s devised different contraptions to achieve success.

Year 8 egg assessment

The year 8’s are also in for an egg-cellent time, working on their assessment task creating a vehicle to move an egg as far and as fast as possible using their knowledge of energy transformations and transfers.
