Winners this week include:
Year 7: Jayden - for his hard work and his wonderful enthusiasm towards school.
Year 8: Charlie - shout out from Dr Patchett: “He showed great enthusiasm for every single workshop. He wowed me in the first when he very quickly told the mentors that he thinks electrons behave like particles and waves, during a session on coding he showed a huge enthusiasm. He owns a Raspberry PI at home where he does coding himself and he worked hard to calculate the probability of getting two questions in a row right in the maths session, including volunteering to be a gameshow contestant in front of the group and another school. He showed great enthusiasm and model behaviour the whole time and it was great to get to hear more of his ideas and interests, especially in STEM.”
