🎭✨ Year 9 Brainstorm Production Session ✨🎭
Our Year 9 students recently participated in an engaging Brainstorm Productions session, exploring important topics through live theatre and interactive discussion.
The performance encouraged students to reflect on real-life challenges, build resilience, and develop strategies for making positive choices. It was a valuable opportunity for students to learn, engage and connect in a meaningful way.
A big thank you to Brainstorm Productions for delivering such an impactful experience for our students.

🔬 This is what learning looks like at GPSC... ⚡
Science Series
Each week, we'll be showcasing "This is what learning looks like" across our faculties, highlighting the engaging and hands-on learning experiences taking place around the college.
Part 3: Year 8 Science – Using Solar Power to Generate Electricity ☀️🔋
Our Year 8 Science students are exploring the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and investigating how electricity can be generated sustainably.
After constructing their own solar circuits, students observed and recorded the electrical current produced by solar energy. They were amazed to see how sunlight can be transformed into electrical energy and power a circuit.
Through practical investigations like this, students are developing their understanding of energy transformations, sustainability, and the important role renewable energy will play in our future.
A big thank you to Ms Servello for creating such an engaging, hands-on learning experience and helping students bring science to life. 👏
