National Science Week

students designing 3D environments

This week, from August 15-23, was National Science Week in Australian schools. Science week is organised to engage students with science in the classroom and explore how science shapes the world around us.

At Hilltop Road, we are lucky to have a wide array of resources to support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics), and this week we were able to access additional resources to support STEAM experiences throughout the school. Some classes experimented with coding and robotics, some explored new apps and software, while others engaged in webinars and created digital 3D environments.

Our staff also took the opportunity to engage with our STEAM resources this week, with teachers meeting in small teams to trial some of our school's robotics equipment and consider how these can be used to enhance teaching and learning.

We hope everyone enjoyed National Science Week!
