We value student voice in hub 6, and a number of students have shared their thoughts on the term.
I really enjoyed the Rocket Challenge because my team is going well. We have all the stuff to launch our rocket. We did lots of tests like putting a piece of string and tying it, and swinging it around, to see if we need to add more stuff. In week 10 we are going to Westlake Park to launch our rockets. - Conlan
I really enjoyed fitness because some days we got to do games and some we didn't. But I won't complain because we still got to go out and do some running/relays and activities. For example we did the beep test today. I also really enjoy doing winter sports because I'm in the A team for netball. Bella
