7 Physical World
Year 7 Physical World students are taking on real-world water challenges as part of their Geography and Science unit. Choosing locations grappling with water scarcity, pollution, or inefficient usage, these students are delving into research and data analysis. The goal? To propose sustainable solutions and foster a sense of environmental responsibility. From advocating community awareness to suggesting advanced purification methods, their solutions showcase a blend of creativity and critical thinking. This real-world approach not only enhances academic skills but also connects students deeply with environmental issues. The hope is that these young minds will not only graduate with grades but with a commitment to making a positive difference in the world.

This term in Geography, our Year 8 students embarked on an exciting journey exploring UNESCO World Heritage Sites. UNESCO designates these sites for their cultural, historical, and scientific significance, and we encouraged our students to delve deep into the wonders of these remarkable places. Through extensive research and hands-on exploration, we uncovered the importance of preserving and managing these sites for future generations. Our students' dedication was truly impressive as they explored various sites worldwide, gaining a newfound appreciation for their role in our collective human heritage.

In Earth & Environmental Science, our students took a hands-on approach to unravel the mysteries of the rock cycle. Rocks, as enduring and transformative materials, play a crucial role in shaping our planet. Our students had a blast crafting their own rock cycles with crayons, offering a fun and educational experience. They grasped the intricate, cyclical journey rocks undergo as they transform beneath the Earth's surface. This experience provided an engaging and memorable understanding of the Earth's geological processes and the profound impact rocks have on our environment and ecosystems.
