Ingenuity Adelaide

Recently all Year 9 students visited Ingenuity held at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Ingenuity is an exhibition featuring a range of interactive, STEM-focused activities. It provides an insight into the variety of career opportunities available across architecture and built environment, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

SAC students had time to browse the array of projects exhibited as well as asking questions and participating in hands on activities. University students presented their work to school aged students who were interested to learn more about studying STEM programs at the University of Adelaide.

Coaching Collective

Last week saw commencement of the 2023 Coaching Collective program. It is a program that aims to encourage career exploration whilst offering students across two different year levels opportunity to work collaboratively.

Year 3 students were excited to be paired with Year 8 students who will be coaching and offering support with research to create a visual presentation about a specific job. We are thankful to all Year 8s who voluntarily participate in the program and gain immense leadership and communication skills whilst doing so.

In the first session Year 3 students participated in ‘getting to know you’ activities prepared by their Year 8 coaches. They dressed up in career related costumes and have now commenced research on their particular job. It was an exciting time for everyone, and we look forward to flourishing relationships as their journey together progresses.
