Smiling faces, laughing students and a lot of jumping around. Smiling faces, laughing students and a lot of jumping around.
That was what students in Y7 and 8 experienced when they went to Jump World on Wednesday this week. Students needed some exercise and social time and they certainly got that. They jumped on the trampolines, played basketball on trampolines, rode down a zip line, duelled and did parkour. These photos give a little flavour of the high action fun enjoyed on this trip. "When is the next one?" is now the question on everybody's lips.

‘If you would like the once in a lifetime opportunity to come to the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, then this is your chance! This year, we are asking students to submit a short video which asks you to complete this following statement: If I were an innovator at MIT, I would.. The videos should last between 90 seconds and 3 minutes’… – this is a message I found in the TBS newsletter in March 2024.
The Max Box Project was an excellent opportunity for Year 9 students to engage in a hands-on task that not only reinforced their understanding of mathematical concepts such as volume, nets, and algebraic modeling but also promoted critical meta-cognitive skills. The task, which involved determining the maximum volume of an open box made from a 20 cm x 20 cm square, required students to think deeply, plan, reflect, and adjust their approach as they progressed. This end-of-unit project encouraged self-awareness of their learning processes while fostering essential problem-solving skills.
