Year 9 Entrance students finishing off their lights
Here are a few of our yr9 students with their fabulous lights. They’ve worked really hard to complete them to a high standard. Each student had to construct a light that included a base that they found. The genuine design problems they faced as a result have been a great learning experience and generated some really novel designs. Well done!!
