Machines
In Stage 2, Term 2 your child is learning about Machines, both Simple and Complex. The students explored how the pulley helps make our work easier. They first tried to lift an object without a pulley, then with one pulley and finally with a two pulley system. Your child was able to feel how it became easier to lift the object as each pulley was added.
Getting involved
There are great opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular activities. These include competitions, exhibitions, sport, performances and special events. Student leadership programs provide many activities that broaden your child's experience at school.
Opportunity classes
An opportunity class placement Test is open to all Year 4 students to assess eligibility for opportunity class places. Opportunity classes are available for academically gifted and talented children in Years 5 and 6 at some schools. If you would like your child to sit this test, please ask us for an application package available from May. The test is held between late July and early August.
