Robotics Workshop

Last Wednesday the Year 4/5 Enrichment Mathematics students had an exciting morning at the Adelaide University. Engineering and Computer Science students that belong to an organisation called ROBOGALS taught us how to program EV3 Lego robots. We extended our learning in coding language, understanding of how to use various sensors to program the robot to move in a shape, move within the dark line and finally battle against other robots. It was a great morning with fun had by all!

State Chess Tournament

On Monday, eight of our best chess players travelled to Tyndale Christian School to participate in the STATE Chess Tournament. Only teams that have won their Interschool competitions receive an invite, so it is really an honour to attend. Over 120 students from 12 schools participated in this exciting day. Teams travelled from the Barossa Valley, Murray Bridge and even Prescott Southern. It was close competition and even though we finished in 8^th place, I was so proud of the students that represented our school in this competition. Well done team!

Sadly, we say goodbye to our faithful three Year 7 players, Yang, Monique, Bhavya, and Yr. 5, Savannah, who have been playing for many years. All students have played a vital part in the success of the Interschool team tournaments and we will really miss you next year. Thank you students for your dedication to chess, we hope you continue playing in your new schools.

Chess club will begin again in Week 3 of Term 1 of 2019, and new players are always welcome.
