Students from years 1 – 6 participated in our annual STEM afternoon on Wednesday 24 July. Students had the opportunity to work in multi-aged groups (including with their siblings) on three fantastic STEM activities. The activities included working with sound by making a vibrating “musical” instrument, using force to make a balancing bird or aeroplane, and creating crazy critters animations using technology. Thank you to Mrs Martin, Mrs Giltrow and Mr Boronovskis for co-ordinating the activities and to our classroom teachers for running the afternoon.

Tuesday 12 March, Ezra B, Tom D, Nic T and James F travelled all the way to St Mark’s Anglican Community School. They competed in the annual Synergy Solar Car Challenge as well as 32 other schools! We are very thankful for Mrs Martin’s help and great camera skills. The day of the race was quite cloudy so unfortunately, we had to switch to battery pack. The group quickly adapted and built an amazing car. The tinker thinkers (the team) were unable to bring home the win, yet we still made it through to the round of 16.

The team was disappointed but yet exited to have this magnificent experience and having made it this far. Go team Inglewood!

Our P & C does many wonderful things for our school. From running our delicious canteen and the second-hand uniform shop, to providing information sessions and connection for parents through social events, fundraising for vial equipment for our school, and holding special days and events for our students. It can only happen through dedicate ion and sacrifice, from parents and our community members volunteering time and energy to support our school.

To our fantastic P &C we say thank you!

Faction Cross Country

Friday 3 May was our year 3-6 Faction Cross Country at Yokine reserve. It was great to see students showing determination, resilience and perseverance by not giving up, even when they fell over at the start they got up and kept on going. They showed kindness to others by supporting each other until the end and helping their mates over the line. It was a magnificent turn out for school. Thanks to the parents that attended the event. Thanks also to the teachers and staff who helped out on the day and, of course to Mr Serravite for organising the event. Congratulations to all the winners and place getters, and the mighty Karda for winning the cup. – Tom and Gus, Karda Faction Leaders
