We are excited to share a number of exceptional student sporting achievements with our community over the coming days. Starting with swimming, Year 12 student Lauren Gastevich has just been selected to represent Australia at the 2018 Oceana Championships in Papua New Guinea!
Rachael Edwards, Year 12, recently finished third place at the School Sport Triathlon Nationals, while her sister Crystal, Year 9, won medals in several of her races at the Australian Age Swimming Championships.
Congratulations girls!
My Y7 scientists were investigating the effect of forces on objects and measuring forces using a Newton balance.

It is strange that only extraordinary men make the discoveries, which later appear so easy and simple. – Georg C. Lichtenberg
Year 11 students have been learning about World Religions. Recently, they were blessed with a visit from Mrs Tripdidas of Calcutta, India who spoke about Hinduism. Mrs Tripdidas was raised by the Loretto Sisters (Irish Catholic Nuns) in the Convent and was taught Geography by Mother Theresa herself! She went on to teach Political Science and English. She gave a fascinating talk on Hinduism for our students.

Mr Lickfold’s Year 11 students got out into the fresh, open air last week, putting their skills into practice on their Outdoor Ed Camp. Students cooked meals, caught fish along the river and took the kayaks for a paddle, all while camping at the beautiful Nanga camp ground.
Secondary students have been visiting their local libraries as part of ECU Enactus, a program providing assistance to local residents with computer problems. It’s a great opportunity for the students to meet members of our community and share their tech knowledge! We hear community members have been impressed with the kindness and helpfulness displayed by our students.
Finalists for the 27th Annual WAITTA INCITE Awards were announced on 13 April 2018, at the Innovation Excellence Lunch Forum & PitchFest.
Abydos, an app developed by ECU researchers and St Stephen’s School, is a finalist in the Most Transformative Impact on Education category. This app meets challenges faced when fractions are challenging to teach and to learn. Abydos is a serious game, however, blending Abydos into the classroom leads to serious fun with fractions. Adapting instantly to students’ strengths, it offers a genuine personalised learning pathway.
We have our fingers crossed for June, when the winners are announced!
