Now in its second year, our Santa Science Showcase held during National Science Week was an evening of inspiration and awe. The showcase delivered a TED Talks style event where distinguished professionals from our community – current parents and ex-students – spoke to the theme: ‘Species Survival – More than just Sustainability.’
Charbel Antoun discussed the role of engineers in the renewable energy transition, while Dr Annalise Crane explored the unique challenges of aviation medicine. Jade Greenhalgh presented on nuclear science and technology applications, and Dr Laura Kerrison shared experiences from her veterinary career. A recent graduate of Santa Sabina, Linda Losurdo, delved into the potential of plasma physics, and Bernard Zanic discussed the importance of efficiency and sustainability in modern supply chains. These presentations provided valuable insights into how various fields contribute to the theme of species survival. The event fostered thought-provoking discussions and highlighted how science and innovation can ensure a thriving future for all species.
Their passion was evident and encouraged us to always remain curious and have courage to take on new challenges to solve problems.
There was also a whole week of exciting Science activities on offer during recess and lunch across all campuses including the Science Trivia Quiz and Citizen Science activities which involved students participating in real research projects run by scientists all over the world.
