Congratulations to all our students on completing their first ever science fair inquiry. The effort, the organisation and the outcomes of these inquiries are impressive and I know the children are so very proud of their work and their achievements. What they have learned from the science fair inquiry will certainly help them in the future; be it time management, following a process or procedure, contacting an expert or a number of other equally important skills or habits that have formed. Well done to you all and as always, thank you to our families for their continued support.
