Fitness Fanatics


The adrenaline from the latest School tour may still be pumping for some of our cross-campus Year 11 and 12 students who were lucky enough to visit the Australian Institute of Sport! These super sportspeople travelled to Canberra to learn from sporting professionals, take part in strength and conditioning exercises and sports simulation. Their training wouldn’t be complete without a recovery session in a 15℃ pool, of course!

 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Budding Scientists Impress the Best

Hard work has paid off for six Carramar Year 11 students who recently (and bravely!) presented to parents and scientists at Murdoch University. After completing a collaborative research project at school, students presented their findings on the effect of germinating wheat grains on the levels of allergenic gliadins that cause serious problems for coeliac sufferers. This important research is an ongoing project of Adjunct Professor Chris Florides of the Biological Sciences Department at Murdoch University. Carramar Head of Science, Elizabeth Kirby said the professionalism and detail involved in the students’ presentation was very admirable.

Students Bradley Doig, Rajit Bose, Munish Senghani, Phoebe Watts, Georgie Waddell and Oliver Williams acquitted themselves most admirably and gave a detailed and insightful account of the aim, methodology and results of this research.
