    Yr 7 STEM Showcasing
    by Heads of Learning (Years 7-9 & 10-12) - Wednesday, 16 October 2019, 4:09 PM
     

    On Tuesday 8 October we held our Year 7 STEM showcasing assembly, with the Mayor of Manningham Cr Paula Piccinini in attendance on the judging panel. Also present were parents of the students from the 9 finalist teams. All 9 presentations and prototypes amazed us with their level of skill and ingenuity.

    Congratulations to the winning two teams on their winning projects:
    · Airplate Cyclist Protection by Ethan Robertson, Joshua Donohue and Conor Skaliotis

    · Plastic Digestion using meal worms by Oliver Runting, Pearce Phillips and Lukas Burton

    Both teams presented at STEM M.A.D conference on 9 October with the Airplate Prototype receiving a prize for outstanding STEM innovation from Immersive Education.

    Below is a reflection from Ethan, Joshua and Conor on the experience:

    “STEM has been a project involving various subjects and has allowed our group to pick something of real interest to us. Together we came up with the idea of the AirPlate, which keeps bike riders safe from motor vehicles. Through researching how the Airplate might work we have incorporated different streams of thinking to achieve a product that could possibly be of benefit to local community or even globally.”

    Remar Gold Graduation

    Last Thursday evening the Remar Gold Caravel celebrated their graduation from the Remar program. Mark Murphy, Adriano Di Prato and I look forward to this event each year as it is one of the most special College events that we attend. Once again we were privileged to congratulate young men who for three years have challenged themselves to grow in faith as well as leadership and communication skills. Many thanks to Jamie McIlroy, Remar Coordinator, and Alexandra Rice, the Caravel’s Helm, for their support of the young men over their journey! Please read on for Alexandra’s reflection: 

    The Gold Graduation evening is a highlight of the Remar calendar which provides an opportunity for the Helm and the Rowers to affirm one another for their growth and successes over their three year journey. This evening allowed the families and special people in the lives of the Caravel...

    Good morning Mr Murphy, invited guests, parents, staff and my fellow students,
