To round out the end of year 7, all year 7 classes were given the opportunity to make their own Rube Goldberg machine in Science. The students were required to look at using a range of different simple machines, with the only human interaction being to start the machine off. It was a great opportunity for students to use the skills underpinning ATRiUM as they learnt how to troubleshoot when things went wrong.
Congratulations to all students who persevered through the task! 👏👏

In term 4, year 8 students ventured to Cowell for a day full of fun and adventure.
Students spent the day playing team building games, Uno, fishing and playing in the water park. 🌊
Prizes were given to those that won the team building games and to the student who caught the largest fish. This was an impressive bull shark caught off the Cowell jetty. 🦈🐟
To complete the day students gathered in their house teams and voted for their 2025 house captains.
An amazing day was had by all with lots of sunshine and fun. ☀

Laura and Nick from the Tom Curtain Show. Tom and the team performed for our year 7 students and shared inspiring stories about their personal journeys and the challenges we may face in life.
Their message touched on the impact of bullying and the powerful story of Dolly’s Dream—reminding us that kindness can make all the difference.
As they beautifully put it in song, "It’s not too hard to be kind, be the reason someone smiles.” 🎶
Let’s all take this message to heart and make a positive impact every day 🌟
