Y9 Environmental Science Stream Monitoring Project
The two Year 9 Environmental Science classes are involved in a long-term project about healthy streams.
On Wed 10th & Fri 12th March, we went on a field trip to one of the tributaries (side-arms) of Lucas Creek to carry out real-life assessments of stream health. We measured water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and the clarity of the water. We also identified and counted pollution-tolerant and pollution-sensitive macro-invertebrates.It was wonderful to apply our learning to a real environment and our data will be used in the ongoing monitoring of this waterway. We didn’t see any fish, but we were pleasantly surprised that such a wilderness exists right here in suburban Albany.
We have been working with Whitebait Connection, which is a programme of the charity Mountains To Sea Conservation Trust. We are grateful to our freshwater scientist Briar Broad, not only for her expertise, but also her flexibility when Level Three lockdowns meant sessions had to be rescheduled.

Year 7 swimming sports saw Kiwi take out 1st place, thanks mostly to boys Alex Wong and Noah Sutherland who placed first and second respectively in all competitive races. For the girls, Mackenzie Keeler also from Kiwi won all her events. A huge thank you goes out to the Y10 Sports Academy class who assisted on the day by helping a number of keen swimmers make it to the finish line!

Congratulations
A massive congratulations to Hannah Jung (8M11) who has recently passed the Grade 8 ABRSM piano exam. This achievement reflects not only substantial talent and passion for music but also an incredible amount of hard work and dedication, with many personal sacrifices made along the way. To reach this advanced level at such a young age is a rare accomplishment and we look forward to hearing Hannah perform in the near future. Congratulations once again, Hannah!
