Year 9 Students Explore STEM Pathways at Ingenuity Exhibition
Last week, 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). University students presented their work to the Year 9 students who were interested to learn more about studying STEM programs at the University of Adelaide. Ingenuity delivered a collective showcase of over 300 student projects, information displays and achievements. It was fantastic to see some SAC old scholars amongst those presenting their final year university projects in STEM disciplines
Coaching Collective – Empowering Young Minds
The 2024 Coaching Collective program has commenced! It 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 to create a visual presentation about a specific job. We are thankful to all Year 8’s 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 with their Year 8 coaches. They dressed up in career related costumes and will commence research on their particular job in future coaching sessions. It was an exciting time for everyone, and we look forward to flourishing relationships as their journey together progresses.
