Year 7 were analysing the amount of chemical energy that is stored in different food types. They set up a simple experiment and burned foodstuffs to measure the amount of thermal energy given off as they burned. This is linked to the amount of energy (Joules/calories) that the food contains. They chose various foods from popcorn to marshmallows, and rice cakes to Pom Bears. It was noticed that nuts burn for a very long time and increase the water temperature by the most - high energy foods!

To thrive in a fast-moving, complex, tech-driven world, young people want more than just knowledge. It’s a message that comes through loud and clear from a new survey of more than 1,500 “Zoomers” who are on the journey from school, through university to the job market.
As Season 2 comes to a close, we are incredibly proud of the dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship demonstrated by our student-athletes across Middle School and High School.
This week, Year 3 students showcased their writing skills by completing their Hot Write task, where they presented a balanced argument on a topic of their choice.
Our students recently had the exciting opportunity to participate in ‘Young Voices for a Sustainable Future’, a collaborative initiative aimed at raising awareness about the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) led by Ms Blanka Lango and Ms Pooja Arora.
