The students made air rockets where they tested the force of gravity. They loved making Oobleck and watching it change into different states but a definite favourite was blowing up 583 ping pong balls using liquid nitrogen and hot water.

Mission Markets a Raging Success! Today, Students from Year 3 & 4 facilitated what was called βMission Marketsβ. Over the past few weeks they had been planning fun and engaging activities to share with the rest of the school. Today this planning came to fruition with great success! Of course, there was a deeper purpose for the markets. The money raised would be passed on to Catholic Mission who are helping a Mongolian community build the Don Bosco Caring centre. There is still time to donate, the link will remain opened until Friday. Congratulations to Stage 2 on bringing the Mission of Christ to our community.
