The age winners were:
Juniors - Tahlia Nicholson and Mitchell Cougle

Thirty students represented at zone, with 17 of those going on to regionals.

Meanwhile, students have been part of the STEMShare Community in term one.
This has allowed students to use technological tools that help develop their skills in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics).

Students have embraced this opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem solving skills in digital technologies.
