Students recently took part in activities at the school as part of National Science Week, which this year had a theme of Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans.
Students learned all about oceans, their significance and the animals within it, from the beautiful to the bizarre.

"They were challenged with thinking about the impact their individual decisions about packaging and the disposal of rubbish could have on our waterways and ultimately our oceans," assistant principal Fiona Hislop said.
A focus each year at all of the schools taking part in National Science Week is the paper planes challenge.
Students learned some of the science of flight and then created their own paper planes.
Each class had their own flying competition to see how far their creations could go, with finalists then competing in a stage "fly off" in windy conditions in front of the whole school.
Lengths were measured under the watchful eyes of Parkview's STEM Industry School Partnerships project officer, Ian Preston.
Students were then presented with certificates and prizes for their efforts after a big week of delving into science.
