The Senior Years at Good Shepherd are designed to empower students to realise their potential in a range of flexible and individualised pathways. Each student has the potential and capacity to enrich their work through the development of their gifts and abilities. We strive to tailor quality and authentic learning experiences to bring these gifts and abilities into fruition.
Good Shepherd offers an extensive number of co-curricular activities to support and extend their students’ learning in their curricular subjects. Students have the opportunity to participate in a significant number of sporting pursuits as well as academic and artistic endeavors. Students are supported by specialist teachers and coaches to ensure they get the most out of the time they invest in extending themselves with the benefits being realised both inside and outside the classroom.
A collection of Year 5 and 6 students designed, built and programmed robots to complete the primary rescue challenge.
Each robot was given the task of locating and rescuing a victim within an ever-changing environment of random obstacles. The team members made engineering and digital modifications on the day to negotiate the ramps, water towers, speed bumps and turns.
Our teams displayed a high standard of skill and sportsmanship, completing some fields with near perfect scores. The day concluded with a visit to the Boeing interactive flight simulator and AI classroom robot.
Thank you to all parents and supporters for their support with training sessions in lead up to the event.
