Science Fair – Caladenia & Wattle Grove

To celebrate National Science Week for 2014 the PAC and MAAC, from both Caladenia and Wattle Grove Primary School, came together to display a myriad of science concepts and experiments.

These incredible pieces of work have been produced over a period of just five weeks in preparation for the presentation day. With the ultimate support by both parents and teachers, it was an extraordinary result for all students of both schools. With given only a short length of time to conduct an experiment and explore each subject in depth– it sure was a challenge!

On the day of the occasion, there were multiple stalls set up to entertain our guests in the undercover area and around each alcove. This was a great opportunity for the students to test their public speaking skills while interacting with the various parents and teachers who came along. Also joining us were Mr Nathan Morton (MLA for Forrestfield) and Ms Jo Watkins (Member of the ESWA); it was an honour to be in their presence. 

We all thoroughly enjoyed the event.

Many stated the event as being ‘an extraordinary day of mind-blowing science’- Khaled 

While others acclaimed ‘The Science Fair was very engaging and fun to communicate with the audience.’ – Henry 

Rhian described the occasion as ‘an exciting and overall amazing experience.’

At the end of the event there were several award winners for each of the categories: Outstanding Presentation, Commitment to Science and Interesting Investigation. It would have been hard to judge these awards because we believe that many of the students excelled on the day.
