7 Ignite – The students have started their final unit of Year 7 and are learning all the ins and outs of project management and how we can apply that in a school context. They are starting to gather ideas on ways to improve our school in the future.
8 Ignite – Using the documentary 2040 as a prompt, the students have begun to explore sustainable concepts and consider how the manufacturing process and disposal at the end of a product's life can impact its overall sustainability.
9 Ignite – If you see students around the school practising with hula hoops and juggling balls, it's just 9 Ignite hard at work. As a way to explore physics through hands-on activities, students are working on their circus skills before analysing and calculating for an 'ideal performance'.
