Auburn High School Wins the State Final of the Science and Engineering Challenge!
We are thrilled to announce that Auburn High School has won the State Final of the Science and Engineering Challenge!
This incredible achievement follows our earlier success at the regional event, where students competed against a strong field of independent and government schools. After taking out first place there, our students advanced to the Victorian state final in Ballarat, and once again came out on top.
The Science and Engineering Challenge, founded by the University of Newcastle in partnership with Rotary Clubs and Deakin University, challenges Year 9 and 10 students with a series of innovative, hands-on STEM activities. These include designing wind turbines, building load-bearing bridges, powering simulated cities, and engineering traditional fish traps.
Our students once again showed outstanding creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking throughout the day, earning the highest overall score in the state. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and the way they continue to demonstrate our DARE values.
We now look forward to representing our school at the National Final in Newcastle later this year, competing against the best teams from across Australia.
Congratulations to our amazing team and best of luck for the nationals!
