A team from Woy Woy Public School has won a Science Invitational Competition. The competition was part of National Science Week, run at the district level.

Woy Woy’s team, consisting of Year 5 students Vale Focas, Hayley Flower, Ian Lumley, Erik Jahn, Easun Zhang and River Quennelle, attended the local competition and competed against teams from six other schools. “Their aim was to design and successfully build three structures in limited time to solve a design problem,” said principal Ms Ona Buckley.

“From the egg drop problem through to the tower design problem, our six students showed they were up to the challenge. “After much competition, Woy Woy Public School were judged the overall winners of the day.”
