Music Student - Teirney Stewart
Year 8 student Tierney Stewart recently participated in the Megaband. Tierney said she really enjoyed the experience of working with the teacher as he was very knowledgeable and made the learning fun.
Tierney also had lessons with Dr Mark for piano which she said is helpful for her upcoming AMEB exams. Tierney enjoyed making friends who enjoy the same interests, and she said she looks forward to seeing them all again next year. Well done, Tierney.
Week 3 saw the University of Queensland's Scanning Electron Microscope residency at ACW. It was a privilege to provide an opportunity for students, their families, and staff, to explore the inner detail of objects normally hidden from our sight.
Here are two highlight micrographs
The underside of a sand dollar (a flat sea urchin).
The interior structure of a sea urchin spine.
A surprisingly industrial image, and probably a prompt to show how studying nature can inform industrial design.
If you missed out this year, the Science Department is hopeful that we can have a similar residency next year.
