STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and it is taking shape in the High Flyers. You may have popped in and noticed some very enthusiastic hands on learning happening in our pod. 

We are always looking for new ways to motivate students with their learning and the High Flyers are beginning to implement a STEM based learning approach this term. Students are engaged in meaningful, STEM-based rich tasks which are developing their key competencies.  Please see this link below for further details on the Key Competencies.
