Our Year 7 students experienced an exhilarating Week 7 as they immersed themselves in Science, Mathematics, and Technologies classes for the week. During this time, their task was to create the tallest possible beacon tower while facing resource limitations. Their ultimate objective was to construct a tower capable of supporting a 2kg radio transmitter, a critical component for an audacious rescue mission to a desert island.

Working in small groups, they engaged in brainstorming, designing, testing, and innovative problem-solving, pushing the boundaries of their creativity in a joyful and collaborative atmosphere. Following the design and production phase, they conducted thorough evaluations and tests of their creations.

Now, let's recognize our champions for the most outstanding solutions, as well as the groups that demonstrated remarkable dedication:

1st Place: Jack Van Maanen

2nd Place: Bruno Borda Becerra, Evan Zhao, Harmony Curtis & Olivia Tsocas

3rd Place: Shaun Punnoose, Eliza Rowe, Elise Cameron & Ivy Stipinovich
