Young ICT Explorers Competition 2014
On Saturday 16 August, 14 teams (including 8 from our campus) of boys from both Prep Campuses attended the final judging event for the Young ICT Explorers Competition. This was our second year of entering this competition and without doubt the quality of the projects our boys presented and those of their competitors was high. The Lindfield teams consisted of a total of 24 boys from Years 3-6 who had collaborated on their projects at school and home during terms 2 and 3 and gave up the day to compete and share their passion with their peers and a multitude of interested adults and experts.
The event was held at the University of New South Wales and involved 145 students from New South Wales, in Years 3 – 12, presenting 78 projects. It was an exciting day full of enthusiasm as the students presented their projects to each other and the judges in an exhibition style format. Throughout the day our boys did a fantastic job at presenting and representing our school!
Overall, Newington did very well receiving a multitude of awards and praise for our two divisions (Years 3-4 and Years 5-6) and the boys can be very proud of their efforts and achievements throughout this competition.
It was a great day for our boys and they clearly enjoyed the experience! We’re excited about what we’ll have to offer next year!
