Last week, two teams from each senior syndicate class represented Sacred Heart at the EPro8 Challenge Inter School Competition.

Room 8: 

Lachie, Rohan, George and Jj.

James, Noah L, Sophie E and Joshua.

Room 9:

Jamie, Aden, Ruby and Daisy.

Sabrina, Olivia, Emily A and Vanessa.

Room 10:

Alyssa, Malchus, Nina and Adee.

Ethan H, Ava Dorn, Annibelle and Lothar.

We were so proud of the way everyone showed our school values and challenged themselves.

EPro8 is a practical STEM programme. In the competitions, each group has 2-2.5 hours to attempt up to four challenges. Each challenge has different levels you have to pass before you can move on to anything else. It is a real test of the kids’ skills in building, electronics, communication and problem solving.

Congratulations to Jamie, Aden, Ruby and Daisy who have made it through to the next competition at the end of November. This team has an eye for detail and had great time management. They came second place on night two. Ka rawe!

A special mention has to go to Lachie, Rohan, George and Jj. This team was pipped at the post in a very tight race. They had built quality structures throughout the entire competition. If they had 20 seconds more, they would have come second on night one. They all handled themselves gracefully in the face of disappointment and were excellent competitors.

Watch this space to see how Jamie, Aden, Ruby and Daisy go in the next round!
