We recently celebrated National Science Week with the theme Decoding the Universe: Exploring the Unknown with Nature’s Hidden Language. Students enjoyed a range of activities that highlighted the wonders of science and encouraged curiosity during the week.
To begin the week and set the scene, the glass windows of the Centenary building were decorated by students with designs inspired by the theme, adding a creative touch to the celebrations.
Students tested their knowledge in the Year Level Pastoral Quiz, which proved to be highly competitive and a real highlight of the week. They also explored fascinating scientific ideas through activities such as watching a YouTube video on Quantum Physics Explained - with a well-earned science themed cookie reward - and taking part in Mysteries of Animal Systems, which included a ‘pluck’ dissection to examine anatomy up close.
Staff joined in the fun too, competing in a lively morning tea Kahoot that brought plenty of laughter and friendly rivalry.
National Science Week at OLMC was a wonderful opportunity for the whole school community to engage with science in creative and memorable ways.
