Thank you, Bandicoot Buddies!

The 2022/2023 YELP group had their last partnership meeting as a team. 

They enjoyed meeting Bev from Minton Farm and handing over the donations the school had collected. She explained to the group how to care for orphaned wildlife and brought two young ring-tailed possums in a pouch to show the students.

They prepared a slide show of their successes and observed other schools sharing their projects.  They especially loved sharing their BTN episode with the other schools.

I wish them all the best for heading to high school in 2024.

Welcome to 2024 YELP students.

Freya, Flossie, Mila, Lily, Lila, Adeline, Mia, Sophie T, Poppy, Marnie!

Did you know we have a STEM Professionals in Schools Partnership?

Dr Declan Page has been visiting on Thursday afternoons for the year, working together with Sarah Todd to provide opportunities for students to engage with a scientist!

His work with the CSIRO as a Principal Research Scientist in Groundwater Systems, linked in well with the Year 3/4 and 4/5 unit on water.

A highlight this year was visiting Frank Smith, testing creek and dam water and looking for differences in a variety of levels.  It was valuable for the students to have some field experience, a little insight into what being a scientist is like.
