What a fantastic Grandparents Day we had today! Our grandparents really enjoyed seeing all the school had to offer, and they were especially impressed by the STEM MAD projects presented by our Year 5 and 6 students.
Our Year 5 and 6 students have spent the past semester working on their STEM MAD (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics - Making A Difference) projects. They identified real-world problems and then used their STEM skills to design practical solutions.
A big well done to all our Year 5 and 6 students for their hard work and for putting on such an interesting display. They showed us how STEM can indeed make a positive difference in our world. We'd also like to thank all the grandparents, and famiy members who came to support our young innovators!
For some of our groups, the journey continues! They'll now be preparing a video submission of their projects to be considered for the national STEM MAD competition. This is an incredible opportunity for them, with the chance for one lucky group from within the Lismore Diocese to present their project in Adelaide! We wish them the very best of luck.
We're incredibly proud of our Year 5 and 6 students and are excited to see their future creations!
Our lunchtime Chess Club has been going from strength to strength, with students showing great enthusiasm and strategy on the board! It’s been fantastic to see so many players developing their skills and having fun. All students from Year 2 to Year 6—whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player—are welcome to join. Come along, challenge your friends, and become part of the St Joey’s Check-Mates in Mrs Peck's room (Year 5) at Recess on Wednesday and Thursdays.
