In collaboration with Green Adelaide, the Year 7 STEM classes are exploring climate change through the Climate Ready Schools Program. This student centred program explores adaptation and mitigation issues involving climate change within the College and local community, with the outcome being to problem solve and develop practical solutions to these issues.
Students engage with the community to investigate what climate change issues are impacting their College and local communities. After choosing an issue to address, students brainstorm solutions, build prototypes, and test and refine them to see whether the solution will address the issue chosen.
Currently, students are 'heat mapping' our College grounds with infrared thermometers and brainstorming actions to take to help cool our local community.
