STEM UPDATE:
STEM classes have been so busy with so much planning, designing, prototyping and testing.
Year 1's and Year 2's created animal feeders to provide food for the huge range of wildlife here, while the Year 6 students worked
on building and testing bridge designs.
Our STEMNASIUM is such a hive of activity and learning and it is BY FAR one of our students’ favourite time of the week!
