St Patrick’s School students and teachers excitedly marked National Science Week last week with a very successful inaugural Science Fair involving more than 80 Kindergarten and Year 6 “scientists”.

The students dove deep into the world of science showcasing a multitude of different projects and experiments, with parents happily watching the students demonstrate their learning and work.

Organisers of the event, Natalee Litchfield and Stef Cook, were pleased with the outcome and the interest shown by the students in all things science.

Principal, Dr Sean Mangan, thanked everyone who helped set up the fair, particularly Troy Haines who provided support along with other staff and parent helpers.

Snowy Hydro’s education manager, Andrew Burke, and education engagement officer, Carolyn Ewart, with members from the Snowy Hydro team were also present and provided many interesting science activities at their stall.

The event was so popular Dr Mangan said he is confident the Science Fair can be considered as an annual event on the school calendar.

National Science Week was from 9 to 17 August.
