During the mid year school holidays while we were all enjoying time out and about, Imogen Coward of Year 11 was already in front of her computer zooming. Imogen, amongst 100 other passionate young scientists from around Australia, successfully gained entry into the prestigious International Science School (ISS) run by Sydney University, and committed a week of her holidays to attending online. Mornings were spent at lectures, including learning about the value of masks in a pandemic; the middle of the day was for laboratory tours to experience "a day in the life of.." university students studying robotics, biology, psychology, chemistry, physics etc. Workshops were in the afternoon - Sydney University had sent out a package of goodies for all of the students to engage in experiments during this time. One of these involved investigating the question "Is the second law of thermodynamics wrong?" (The entropy or disorder of the universe is increasing). Imogen has made some great contacts with the University staff as well as some new friends with similar passions. What an amazing experience. We are very proud of you Imogen and hope that next year you can attend in person. #mamrelearning

What a fabulous day Year 1 had last Wednesday learning about school life in 1889. The children experienced a variety of activities from marching around the maypole, undertaking a sewing activity, saluting the flag, spelling, arithmetic on an abacus, a science lesson on the life cycle of a moth as well as a real-life drawing activity. The children were also given old fashioned names like Percival Mallory, Hubert Fox, Daisy Adams and Mildred Potter to name a few. The children also heard about many of the students in 1889 having to work on the farm, long hours before they started school. They were also told that most children came to school without shoes, as many only owned one pair of shoes and they were saved for "Sunday best" to go to church. We all learnt some interesting information today about school life in 1889. A fun place to visit but we all agreed that it was much easier being a student in 2021. #mamrelearning

Well done to our superstar netball team, who made Semi Finals at the CSSA gala day today. #mamrelearning
