\n
We celebrated National Science Week and embraced the theme ‘Seeds of Science.’ From mystery seed challenges, to liquid nitrogen ice-cream, forensic challenges, treasure hunts, a visit from Mary MacKillop Kindergarteners and a technical “Lab Olympics”, students got involved and embraced their curiosity.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The highlight of the week was at our Assembly, where the Science department put seed distribution on display with a Ballistic Dispersal experiment. This demonstration simulated exploding seed pods whereby plants use a smart trick known as ballistic dispersal to shoot their seeds far away without help from wind or animals.<\/div>\n

Thank you to our Head of Faculty – Science, Mr Pacey, for facilitating a wonderful week of activities.<\/div>\n
