Thirty Two of our Year Ten students took part in this competition, held at our school for the first time, last Wednesday. They had a wonderful time constructing, deducing and conversing about many different challenges put before them. To sum up briefly, they excelled themselves. We were leading before the last event and I thought our lead would get us through. It turns out that our bridge, which was the second most successful, was just a tiny bit too heavy. However from a design perspective it was miles in front of our opposition. Unfortunately no points are awarded for design so we finished second. I was delighted about how our students took to their various tasks. They are GOOD!
Above are some photos from the day. Bring on next year!!!

I would encourage some of our Year 10 students to consider careers in a design subject like Engineering, which requires the study of Physics!
