The History students remained at school and were involved in a range of activities throughout the day to give different perspectives on the Vietnam War and the impact it had on the individuals and nations involved. The culmination of the day was an invigorating performance by Brett Hunt, providing an entertaining and highly reflective account of the impact the war had on his family.

Science Techno

For the past 3 weeks, Year 8 students have been working on their Science Techno projects and these were displayed and judged last Monday. All students did a fantastic job in choosing incredibly diverse and interesting topics and producing amazing displays. They researched the science behind their item or process, the history of its development and the impact it has had on society.

Year 7, 10 and 11 students helped to judge these displays and spoke to the students who explained their topic. Science staff members also had some input into the judging effort.

Six groups will showcase their display at a college finals day on Friday 31 August. On this day, Year 8 finalists from Manly, Cromer, Mackellar Girls’ and Balgowlah Boys’ Campuses will set up their displays here at Manly and will be judged by guests from the college as well as invited community groups and universities.

The Manly Campus finalists, in no particular order, are:

• The Microscope - Lucas Harvey, David Tsai, Jack Mclean, Nick Weng, Kai Sayer • Running Shoes - Bezi Saunders, Olivia Forman, Sophie Stephinson, Amy Milford, Abbey McAllan • Television - Bryn Montgomery, Kiana He, Ashleigh Powe, Sarah Wongso, Amber McCulloch • Bridges - Ken Lamb, Jerry Yan, Bennet Chan, Jay Lakhana, David Tulk • Encryption - Daniel Martin, Harrison Hook, Thomas Freeman, Krystof Zajicek, James Choi • Nuclear Power - Kai Turner, Nathan Spencer, Lewis Hutcheson
