Term 4, Week 1 (11th – 15th of October)

We are excited to be holding our annual STEAM Week again this year. Through a range of activities and celebrations, students will have the opportunity to imagine, action and showcase their ideas in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics!

The theme this year is ‘Food: Different by Design’. (Think: solutions for creating a sustainable food future in our world)
