Term 1 has started with a bang in Science! It has been wonderful to welcome our new cohort of Year 7 students into the Science laboratory as they start to explore the difference between Primary School and Secondary School Science. They have been learning about the properties of matter and how best to separate mixtures and there have been lots of great experiments. Some highlights below include the Density Tower, Filtering and classifying substances as Pure, Mixtures, Elements and Compounds.

Our Year 8 students have just finished making their crystals for their first assessment task and have demonstrated safe working practices in the laboratory. They will continue their learning in their Earth Science unit this term moving onto tectonic plates and the natural events occurring at plate boundaries. 

A reminder as we enter assessment periods that if your student is unwell or expecting to be absent, they need to request an extension via Schoolzine for their Year Level HOD to review. This is particularly important for our Year 11 and 12 students about to sit their first FIA1 and IA1 tasks.  

We are looking forward to the second half of the term and the learning still to come!
