Science Week

This year we joined the national celebration of Science Week, embracing curiosity — the starting point of every great discovery! Curiosity sits at the heart of scientific investigation; every discovery begins with a simple question that drives us to explore, test and push the boundaries of what we know.

The week began with an inspiring assembly for Years 7–10, introducing students to the exciting possibilities that curiosity can unlock. They explored ideas such as driverless cars, advances in genetic engineering, future space travel and other remarkable developments shaping our world. The assembly encouraged students to think about how these breakthroughs began with inquisitive minds willing to ask questions.
Throughout the week, Year 7 and 8 students took part in special Science Week lessons. They investigated mystery powders using chemical reactions, explored how acids and carbonates can inflate balloons and observed woodlice to discover the conditions they prefer. Each activity gave students the chance to think, test and question —just like real scientists.

Science Week once again showed that curiosity is a powerful force for learning. By asking questions, students discovered that science is not just something found in textbooks but a way of thinking that helps us understand the world around us. We hope it has inspired everyone to stay curious and keep exploring new ideas—both in and beyond the classroom.
