Year 12 Biology ATAR

June 9, 2020

Here are some Y12 Biology ATAR students creating DNA profiles via gel electrophoresis.

Gel electrophoresis is a technique commonly used in laboratories to separate charged molecules like DNA according to their size.

They were investigating how this could be applied within forensics and biological conservation.

Mr Biddle, Miss Ross and the ATAR Biology students of Duncraig were down in Bussleton exploring the biodiversity and sampling ecosystems. We explored the underwater jetty, NgIligi cave, two different beaches and bush land. The students had a blast and have come out more aware of how significant WA is in terms of our native culture.

ClassVR put to the test!

June 29, 2018

The Y8’s experienced a whole new reality when they experienced the VR sets for the first time! Check out their reactions when they were diving with sharks, riding the scariest roller coasters and even drove a F1 car when investigating their energies.

Enjoy the short videos!

ClassVR Learning

June 26, 2018

Students were able to virtually travel the world last week with some brand new Virtual Reality headsets! These ClassVR headsets enable students to go diving with sharks, explore the Great Wall of China and even create their own content without having to leave the classroom.

Using technology in a busy classroom isn’t always as easy as it should be. Imagine how difficult it could be to control 30 children wearing VR headsets!

The ClassVR interface and teacher control portal provide the simple to use tools needed to ensure this exciting and engaging technology can deliver a rich, reliable experience for students.
