STEAM Learning Clubs
are offered before school from 8:00am-8:40am.
These clubs are designed to
promote interest and engagement in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and
Mathematics and develop creativity and critical thinking to better prepare our
students for future jobs.
Each club is currently limited to specific year levels,
however if your child is interested in one of the other clubs, he or she is
encouraged to speak to a teacher or Miss Pauli so that individual arrangements
can be made.
