Bright Ideas, Brighter Futures

Here’s a little throwback to last term when our Year 6s had a hands-on, eye-opening morning bringing their classroom learning about renewable energy to life. And yes… they had a fantastic time!

Thanks to an exciting invitation from SA Power Networks, the students connected their Science studies with real-world issues like renewable energy and global poverty. They were inspired by an all-female panel of Electrical Engineers and Powerline Workers, including our own old scholar, Kate Poole (Class of 2011).

The girls rolled up their sleeves to build Solar Buddies – portable solar lights destined for communities in disadvantaged countries. These lights will help improve education, protect the environment, and support health in places where electricity is scarce.

Watch the SA Power Networks video to see how the experience unfolded!
