Rollins Primary School Electives

Each year, North Geelong Secondary College is delighted to host Grade 5 and 6 students from Rollins Primary School for their elective's classes in Science and Food Technology.

This year was a little different where the students undertook five activities in the science sector giving them a full insight into this area and what they may experience in their secondary college years ahead:

  • Gummy bear osmosis (a definite favourite and standout for the students)
  • Catapult construction
  • Microscope exploration (students were particularly curious and enthusiastic)
  • Invisible ink (which led to the use of some playful words)
  • Underwater acoustics

The Food Technology was also an extravaganza of excitement where the students made Bento Boxes, a very heathy treat that was enjoyed by most but if not, the students gave this as a gift for their parents.

A fun and enjoyable day filled with big smiles and a lot of interactive fun for all of the students involved. Thankyou Rollins Primary School for attending this event.
