πŸ”¬ We just can’t resist a good science investigation! Our brilliant Year 9s have been exploring resistance in different components within a series circuit. It’s fantastic to see them confidently setting up circuits, recalling the rules they’ve learned and developing strong problem solving skills. When the current didn’t flow, they worked systematically to check each component and even earned Merits for helping others and reinforcing their own learning.

Our Year 7s have also been busy in their β€œEarth” topic, creating solar system models and producing impressive planet fact files. They then let their imaginations take flight by writing postcards from space. A few even reported being a bit sunburnt on Venus despite their cleverly designed life support equipment!

Take a look at the amazing learning happening across our Science curriculum.

#snowdaythrowback
❄️What a start to 2026! After not one but two snow days, the closures followed a real battering from Storm Goretti. There was around 10cm of snow across the site and it made for some absolutely stunning views of our brand new STEM block.

The second photo even captured the moon and Jupiter glowing together in the western sky – a beautiful moment on a very chilly morning β„οΈβœ¨

Our first group of Year 10s have started the new term by continuing their yeast cookery work and the results look delicious πŸ•

Students made their own pizza dough from scratch and chose their own toppings to finish them off. One student even went the extra mile by blanching fresh tomatoes and creating their own sauce with herbs and purΓ©e.

We definitely think these pizzas are far better than a takeaway. Well done Year 10!

🍑 Exploring Japanese Culture at SA!

Students from Mr Poole’s Japanese Club had a fantastic time making Mochi with the support of Mrs Higgins. Mochi are traditional Japanese chewy rice cakes, and this hands-on experience was a brilliant way to complement their language learning.

Our students have been learning Japanese throughout the term, and it was wonderful to see them embrace this cultural activity and show appreciation for traditions from around the world.

Interested in languages and cultures? We encourage all students to check out the amazing clubs we offer!
