Celebrating Student Innovation and Inquiry

The 2025 Oliphant Science Awards saw fantastic involvement from our students, with many keen young scientists entering projects across a wide range of categories — including crystal growing, posters, robotics, games, photography, science inquiry, and science writing.

These projects not only sparked creativity but also deepened students’ understanding of scientific concepts through hands-on investigation and exploration.

We are proud to celebrate our three overall winners:

• William for his inventive project The Unlimited Shower
• Eddy for his engaging science writing on How Bugs Communicate
• Our school, recognised for its outstanding work in citizen science, led by Mrs Todd

These winners will receive a prize at an award ceremony in October, with all other student participants receiving a certificate during term 4.

Over 100 projects were entered from Coro, and congratulations to the following students for entering…
