Year 6 Students go STEM MAD

We are tremendously proud of every single student in Year 6 for their participation in the STEM MAD competition.  STEM MAD stands for Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics and MAD is Make-A-Difference.  Our students certainly did make a difference during remote learning where they collaborated remotely with in small team groups to design, produce and present a STEM MAD product.  Out of 18 teams a record 6 teams were chosen to be finalists in the entire Catholic Melbourne School Network.  Out of those 6 finalists- 2 received honourable mentions:
