Tournament of Minds Regional Competition

Over the weekend, several of our talented Senior LEAP students took part in the Tournament of Minds regional competition at ECU Joondalup, showcasing their creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills in a challenging and high-energy environment. Although none of our teams progressed to the finals this year, we are incredibly proud of their efforts and the way they represented our school. A special congratulations goes to our STEM team, who were awarded a Merit Certificate for their outstanding work – a fantastic achievement! Each team tackled complex challenges with enthusiasm and persistence, and it was a joy to see their ideas come to life after weeks of preparation. A big thank you to the families who supported our students throughout the lead-up and on the day – your encouragement means so much. Well done to all involved!

A special thankyou to Mrs Ward for her time and commitment to this competition.

Year 1 STEM Activities

In Year 1, our students have been busy becoming budding engineers and designers in their Design and Technology unit. Each student chose an animal and then created a special shelter using recycled materials. They carefully thought about which materials would be suitable to protect their animal from the weather and predators, then designed their shelter on paper before bringing it to life. The creativity and problem-solving skills on display have been fantastic, and the students had so much fun along the way. Next week, the real test begins as we put our shelters through ‘wind and rain’ challenges.  We can’t wait to see how well they withstand the elements!
