“This assembly was also a wonderful occasion with the official opening of our new science laboratory by (Girrawheen MLA) Margaret Quirk which was funded through a McGowan government’s election commitment.
“Guests, parents and community members were invited to tour the laboratory where students used microscopes to display plant cells, demonstrated how to use a red cabbage as a universal indicator for acids and bases, how detergent disperses oils and finally a demonstration using a 3D printer.
“The morning events was also a combined celebration with our school community acknowledging and thanking our P&C members for the wonderful work they do.”
