Science Club – Term 3 continues! This week, students took on an engineering challenge, creating towers using marshmallows and cocktail sticks! Working in teams, they tested different designs to see which structures were strongest and most stable. Through this activity, students explored forces, stability, and problem-solving, while developing teamwork and creativity. It was great to see so many thoughtful designs and improvements being made along the way! See you next Tuesday for more fun science!

Once again our wonderful canteen team have put on a great offering for our staff and students. Celebrating Robert Burns in preparation for Burns Night.
