Science Competition

Asslaam-U-Alaikum

In Term 1, I had invited students to nominate themselves to be part of South Australia’s largest state level science competition. Many students had showed their interest and registered themselves. I had received a number of excellent entries. Students’ projects were entered in this competition in the following categories:

• Photography
• Posters
• Multimedia
• Models and inventions
• Crystal investigation

In the following categories our students had won prizes.

• Posters – Year 9/10 category- Maysara Taha – Highly Commended
• Posters – Year 5/6   category- Faaiza Sunasra –  Prize winner
• Crystal Investigation – Year R/2 – Ibrahim, Emma, Rana – Prize winner

A ceremony will be held in earlier Term 4 where our winners will be receiving their certificates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank dedicated parents for their ongoing support and ask more students to come forward for next year’s competition. You have more time to start thinking about projects now. I would love to see budding scientist of AIC to shine on bigger stage in 2023.

Preceding to Oliphant Science Competition Junior Primary and Upper Primary students had attended the Silly Scientist Show. At the end of the Term 2, an excursion has been organised to encourage students to experience how science works in their surroundings. Our Junior Primary and Upper Primary students had an opportunity to explore the scientific concepts such as motion, sound, heat, and light. Students had learned these concepts through interesting hands-on experiments such as guitar’s story, optical illusion, stomp rocket, water bag and pencil, and lightening ball. For the big finale Science show presenters took us outside to show us coke & Mentos experiment.

Kindest regards
