Science Week in Prep

â€‹National Science Week was a big event this year in Prep. The theme for 2020 was â€˜Deep Blue: Innovation for the Future of our Oceansâ€™. Science Week gives us the opportunity to increase our engagement and understanding of ocean science. We live on an island and our oceans are ever-present around us. Australiaâ€™s vast oceans are a source of constant fascination for our students and it was absolutely wonderful to learn more about the importance of our oceans and the amazing animals that live there.
