recently, Students from Our Lady of Victories Primary School, Shortland, Corpus Christi Primary School, Waratah, St Peter’s Primary School, Stockton and St Columban’s Primary School, Mayfield recently came together for an exciting STEM Challenge Day, organised by Our Lady of Victories with support from the Rotary Club.
Bringing together Year 5 and 6 students from across the area, the day was packed with hands-on challenges that encouraged students to think critically, solve problems and work collaboratively. From testing ideas and building solutions to learning from trial and error, students embraced every challenge with enthusiasm and determination.
The activities provided a fantastic opportunity for students to see STEM in action while developing valuable skills in teamwork, communication and creative thinking. Just as importantly, it gave them the chance to connect with students from other schools, share ideas and celebrate each other’s successes throughout the day.
There was plenty of excitement, healthy competition and impressive problem-solving on display, making for a memorable experience for everyone involved.
A huge thank you to the Rotary Club for sharing their time and expertise, and to all those who helped make the day possible. Experiences like these help spark curiosity, foster a love of learning and inspire students to explore the possibilities that STEM can offer.
