On Monday 27 <\/sup>May, 32 Year 10 Oxley students attended the annual Southern Highlands Science and Engineering Challenge.  Students competed in groups of four across a range of activities including designing and constructing an earthquake proof tower, designing efficient codes to send messages along fibre optic rods, designing and constructing a balsa glider for both maximum range and accuracy, and designing and constructing a model wind turbine.  Oxley students performed very well and were awarded first runner-up out of the eight schools competing.  Well done to all the students who participated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A selection of Year 6 students recently showcased their talent and innovation at the Southern Highlands Science and Engineering Challenge. Working in teams of four, they tackled practical challenges aimed at providing a positive experience of science and engineering. We\u2019re thrilled to announce Oxley\u2019s exceptional achievement, securing 2nd place overall with just a 15-point difference from first place. Thanks to the Rotary Club of Bowral-Mittagong and the University of Newcastle for organising this event, hosted at the Mittagong RSL. Congratulations to our outstanding Year 6 students for their inspiring success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
