Recently, our Year 3 students were thrilled to welcome Street Science for an exciting day of hands-on learning and discovery!

Throughout the day, students explored a range of chemical reactions, using thermometers to investigate how heat can be produced and absorbed. They also tested the ability of different materials to conduct thermal energy and observe how they allow state change.

To finish the day, students were amazed by the signature Street Science Heat Energy show. Featuring spectacular fire and liquid nitrogen demonstrations, students discovered how heat can be produced, transferred between objects and have dramatic observable effects on materials around us.

Book Fair has arrived on our Primary Campus! This week, students had the chance to explore the stalls and discover a wide range of exciting new books, taking home wish lists filled with their favourites ahead of ordering next week.

Book Fair contributes to our school community as funds raised during the event will be reinvested into our library, providing additional resources to enhance student education and learning experiences at our college!

We can’t wait to continue the celebrations as our annual Character Parade returns next term for National Book Week!

Last week on our Primary Campus, our prep students engaged in an educational 'Creature Feature' experience by Numinbah Valley Environmental Education Centre. Students interacted with a variety of native Australian animals (primarily reptiles) to develop an appreciation for the unique wildlife in Australia.

Through this engaging experience, they identify the basic needs of various reptiles, recognising their similarities and differences.By observing each animal and noting their features, students describe the habitats where these animals live and explore how they grow and change over time. Discussions on the care requirements of the reptiles allow students to compare these with common pets they might have at home.

Last week our Secondary Campus welcomed Minister for Sport & Racing Tim Mander, Hermann Vorster MP and Ray Stevens MP to showcase how our College's ASPIRE programs are contributing to the state's sporting future.

During their visit, our esteemed guests met with students already excelling at a state and national level in their chosen sport, and with our youngest ASPIRE sport students coming through the ranks of our high-performance programs.

With our programs and talented sport stars of the future on show, and the Ministers' invaluable wisdom, encouragement, and guidance, we have no doubt our future alumni will be leading the way into the 2032 SEQ Olympic Games!

Across our college we have collectively raised over $15,000 towards blood cancer research and support, with that number still growing!

Thank you to @hermannvorstermp, @thedandoran and @raystevens.mp for your contributions and support for today's event! A special shoutout also goes to Hermann who jumped in the hot seat and participated in getting shaved for such a good cause!

This week our college celebrated Guidance Officer Appreciation Week, an opportunity to stop and recognise the incredible work of our Guidance team at Varsity College. We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated, compassionate and highly skilled group of Guidance Officers who play a critical role in the lives of our students and the overall wellbeing of our community.

Guidance Officers are often the quiet heroes of our schools, providing a listening ear, guiding students through challenges and helping to create pathways for success both personally and academically.

We are so lucky to have Sheryl, Geoff, Sara, Michelle and Jessica as part of our Varsity College family! Thank you so much for the incredible impact you have on our students, families and school culture as a whole!
