🌊 Our Year 7s tackle plastic pollution! 🌊

In the second half of Term 3, our Year 7 ITEP students (our STEM special interest pathway) took part in KBR’s OneOcean program, investigating how plastics and microplastics end up in our waterways and the impact they have on wildlife and the environment.

Students used their STEM thinking, creativity and teamwork to research the problem and come up with their own ideas for solutions. The program wrapped up with a showcase here at school, where students presented their projects and explained the thinking behind their proposals – and we were so impressed by their ideas and enthusiasm!

Programs like this help our students see how what they learn in the classroom connects to real issues in their community, and how they can be part of the solution.

A big thank you to KBR for delivering the program, and to the SA Department for Education for helping bring industry and our school together.

🚀 Does your child love STEM? Our ITEP program gives Year 7–10 students hands-on learning with coding and 3D printing, plus industry partnerships, excursions and competitions. Spots are still available for 2027 – find out more here: https://www.modburyhs.sa.edu.au/innovative-technologies-andengineering-pathway-program/

Over the last few weeks of term 3, the Year 8 cohort have been busily creating Landscape models for their geography unit. 801 & 803 partnered up this morning to present their work to each other in a join class exhibition. There were a range of models to showcase, with a variety of materials; including cake! The Year 8 Cohort has ended this term on a high note in HASS and will continue to do even greater things going into term 4.

"The theme of this exhibition was “The In-Between”. For my painting, I explored this theme through the idea of a physical moment suspended between times, a space between the good memories and reality. Through this work, I want viewers to experience a sense of nostalgia, as well as the feeling of a memory slowly being carried away. I believe this exhibition provides an important opportunity for young artists in schools to express themselves, explore their creativity, and share their art publicly." - Isabella Wright, Year 11 MHS Student (artwork of girls on swing set)

Our Operation Flinders Team last week!

The teams are arriving at Yankaninna Station! 🥾

The weathers a bit different up there compared to Adelaide! Suns out and there’s only a few clouds in the sky.

Good luck to those starting their Operation Flinders experience!
