Science Week has been a very busy but fun week. We kicked off the week on Tuesday 15^th August with a Brain Break Morning Tea in the Foods block courtyard. On offer were a myriad of delectable delights, thoughtfully prepared by the Grade 8 Foods classes.

The morning tea came at the entry fee of a 10-question quiz, covering everything from AI to biology.

On Wednesday 16^th August we welcomed over 150 Grade 5 and 6 students from local primary schools to participate in the STEM Expo. This event involved nine activities, run by the high school students. Activities included dry ice, fireworks colours, Van de Graaf generator, and drones. The excitement of the primary students was high. Our students were thoroughly exhausted at the end of the day.

The last event for Science Week 2023 was a trip to the Festival of Bright Ideas on Friday 18^th August. With the session time at Princes Wharf starting at 9:15am, students were asked to arrive at 8:20am for an 8:30am departure. We arrived on time and students were able to wander around the exhibits, immersing themselves in the many science opportunities that Hobart has to offer. The session finished at 10:30 so students walked over to Salamanca Square for a bite to eat. The day was enjoyed by all that attended.
