Time and time again, we are blown away by the excellent critical thinking and creativity of our Aspire students who are developing essential skills for lifelong success. A number of our teams have had big successes lately and we couldn’t be more excited for these students.

Creative Edge

This year has been our most successful Creative Edge season ever with all Secondary teams receiving invitations to the State Finals at Curtin University this weekend. In the State Finals, teams will have three hours to prepare a 10 minute performance about a pressing global issue, displaying their communication, collaboration, and creativity skills.

We are so proud of these students for their hard work and can’t wait to see how they go tomorrow!

Future Problem Solving

Congratulations to Year 6 students, Madison and Piper, and Year 11 students, Tayte, Chantal, Linden, and Abigail who have all qualified for the Future Problem Solving National Finals in Sydney in Week 1 of Term 4!

To qualify for the National Finals, students must rank in the top 10% of students in Australia in the qualifying round so it’s a significant honour to these students for achieving this excellent result.

CO2 Dragsters

Our Year 9 Aspire students have commenced their preparation for the international CO2 Dragsters program. They begun by learning about the principles of aerodynamics, including lift, weight, drag, and thrust and then got to work preparing for the annual LJBC Paper Plane Contest. In it’s third year, this fun mini competition tasks students to work in teams of 2-3 to create their best paper planes in four categories: distance, precision, tricks, and time aloft.

The competition will be held next week and we can’t wait to see how the teams go!
