All Things Science
Wednesday, July 15. 2009
Science is alive and kicking at Bwgcolman Community School with students of all grades prodding, poking, investigating, examining, classifying, exploding, combusting and much more. Year 8 students passed their Bunsen burner licence and celebrated the event with a spectacular "Flaming Ceremony" (see photos below). Year 10 students took to the reef to identify coral species and other invertebrate animals. Primary classes dissected toads to compare the internal organs of a cane toad to that of their own. Year 8 and 9 students have also become very confident in identifying and using laboratory equipment precisely and safely.

This semester will again see high school students learning about science as part of the curriculum provided at the school. Year 8 and 9 students will begin to study the physical sciences (Physics). More specifically, Year 8 will investigate the "forces" that control the universe and therefore our lives and Year 9 will be studying "energy" in all its forms. I hope to see more of the primary classes this semester as we try to promote the innate interest children have in the world around them.

Regional Cross Country

Regional Cross Country Competition 26th May 2009
On Tuesday a small group of high school students from Bwgcolman attended the regional cross country competition in Townsville.
The competition attracts schools from right across our region including from Proserpine, Charters Towers and Bowen. Each race had around 100 competitors.
Our students performed well, with most finishing mid field in very competitive races. I am still waiting for official results.
Moira Murray from Grade 5 also came along after being selected the previous week to represent the Townsville District. Moira placed ninth overall, an excellent result.
If you see the following students around school or the community, congratulate them on their performance and the fantastic way that they represented our school at such a big event.
Moira Murray, Thomas Massey, Alison McKean, Seldean Clarke, Nazine Bulsey, Sharna Cannon and Stanley Panuel.
