What an incredible display of talent, dedication and determination!

How risky are our everyday choices? 🤔
Our Year 8 students explored this question in Science through a game of Jenga with a twist - the Tower of Risk! Each block represented a risk factor linked to non-communicable diseases, such as smoking, physical inactivity or an unhealthy diet.
As students carefully removed blocks, they discussed how different lifestyle choices can affect our health, what diseases they may contribute to and how we can reduce those risks.
A fun way to explore an important topic while putting their decision-making skills to the test!

A little look back at October! 🏗️🔧
Our Year 10 Engineering students visited CEMAST for the Construct event, exploring careers in construction and engineering.
From hands-on building activities to meeting industry professionals, students had the chance to try new skills and discover what working in the industry is really like.
A big thank you to everyone involved!
