The Year 8 Science Fair, held on 31 August, showcased a wide range of student-led investigations. Through engaging displays, informative posters and confident presentations, students shared their scientific processes and findings with peers, staff and visitors.
Students selected their investigation topics with guidance from their teachers and spent approximately five weeks planning, conducting and analysing their experiments. They then dedicated several class periods to creating display boards that effectively communicated their research.
Award Winners:
Popular Vote Award: Liam Miller and Eddie O'Connor - how coffee affects reaction time

Honourable Mentions for Scientific Merit:
