On the Science notice board on the C-floor, we have an informative display about “The Chemistry of Winter Festivals”.
We have some information about a number of different celebrations from around the world – Divali, Loy Kratong, Hanukkah, The Winter Solstice, and Christmas.
One of the main parts of the display is the ‘countdown to the Christmas break’, or the Christmas Advent.
Each day, from November 20 until the end of term, we will open one of the doors and learn something new about Chemistry and Christmas.
The first five days have shown us information about Christmas Tree Aroma, Poinsettia Indicators, Mulled Wine, Mistletoe, and Candy Canes.
Each week we will show you what we have learned in case you are not able to see the display for yourself.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
