Science Fair

Over the last few weeks a number of students have been working on an extension opportunity to complete a science fair investigation. On Monday our students went down to the Otago Museum to set up their projects. The judging will took place over  Monday and Tuesday and the Science fair will be open from Wednesday to the public. 

We wish all of our students well in this competition and congratulate those who have successfully persevered and completed their project! 

Hot of the press! Here is the list of our prizewinners this year. Well done to everyone who completed this project!
