Sydney Zoo Excursion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Year 8 Science class headed off to Sydney Zoo early in March to study, observe and discuss the behaviour and adaptations of animals in their environment. The excursion was linked to the first year 8 assessment task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I\u2019m a Year 8 student who recently had the pleasure of visiting the Sydney Zoo, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The zoo offered a wide range of animals, including some of my personal favourites. From the moment I entered the zoo, I was amazed by how the zoo was designed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that stood out to me was the zoo’s commitment to animal welfare. The enclosures were well-designed and spacious, providing the animals with a relatively good amount of space. The staff were always kind and available to answer any questions I had. Overall, the Sydney Zoo was a fantastic experience, and I would highly<\/em> recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational day out.<\/em><\/p>\nAnsh Sood<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I recently had the opportunity to visit Sydney Zoo during a school trip and I have to say, it was an incredible experience. The zoo has an impressive range of animals from various continents including Africa, Asia and Australia. It was amazing to see the animals up close and in personx, especially my personal favourites, the cheetahs and lions from Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that stood out to me was the well-designed enclosures for each animal. The zoo staff made sure that every animal had enough space to roam free and didn’t just put them in cages. The way the animals were organised by their countries of origin was another thoughtful touch. The staff were also very friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even better.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Sydney Zoo is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun and educational day out. I highly recommend it to anyone and I can’t wait to go back again.<\/em><\/p>\nDaksh Kumar<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Science and Engineering Challenge Excursion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marist College Eastwood participated in the University of Newcastle Science and Engineering Challenge at Sydney Olympic Park. Thirty two Year 9 students competed in eight STEM activities against teams from seven other schools. Students worked in teams of four to complete a morning and an afternoon challenge activity. Some of the challenge activities included building a wind turbine, a bridge, a glider and a earthquake proof structure. Teams were awarded points for each activity and the College achieved a 4th place. The day provided students with opportunities to develop their critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork skills. It was an enjoyable day and a worthwhile extra curricular activity which we hope to participate in again next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
