Science Week

16.08.24

During National Science Week we have welcomed tree frogs, stick insects, hermit crabs, a huntsman spider and a scorpion to McAuley.

Supporting the theme - 'More than Just Sustainability', we explored the unique adaptations and survival strategies of these creatures. Students learnt about biodiversity and the delicate balance that supports life in regions like Adelaide.

Did you know scorpions have been thriving here for millions of years.  Their resilience is linked to their ability to survive in diverse environments.

The Bureau of Meteorology paid Year 6 a visit to discuss the importance of predicting weather patterns in agriculture and the vtial role in sustainable farming.

Our thanks to Year 6 teacher Mr Sam Charlton for coordinating an exciting Science Week at McAuley.
