Over the past two weeks, our Year 7 students have been hard at work in their science lessons, channeling creativity, teamwork, and engineering know-how into designing and assembling their very own rocket cars.

Today, all that hard work paid off as we gathered on the tennis courts for an electrifying launch event! All four Year 7 classes took part, and each car sped across the court with impressive energy and flair. From sleek designs to surprising speeds, it was a fantastic showcase of innovation in action.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the students and celebrate their achievements—it was an inspiring day for all involved!
