Year 6 Have Special Visitors

We were very fortunate to have two special visitors join Year 6 to share their expertise about civil engineering and how they design society. This relates to our CLP units throughout Term 2 and Term 3 about Sydney Science Park and designing a new city to be innovative, liveable and sustainable.

Students discussed how infrastructure and architecture are related to building and improving common society pain points in society. Ben Williams (Father of Charlotte Williams in 6B) and Alice Bowers from their consulting company AECOM shared their expertise with the Year 6 students, enabling them to think and formulate solutions that the students were aware of, including congestion on Parramatta Road. Bringing in real-life expertise in the form of parents and friends enables students’ ideas to springboard for their major Showcase project that they will be sharing at the end of Term 3 with parents, carers and experts from Sydney Science Park and CSIRO.
