More than 900 students from Pinjarra, Harvey and Waroona gathered at St Joseph’s School on Wednesday to take park in STEMathon, the region’s biggest showcase of science, technology, engineering and maths.
One of five Australian National Science Week events which took place last week, the primary school took over the Waroona town hall and surrounds, with well over 100 scientific activities on show.
With nine different schools coming from across Peel and the South West, and displays from Alcoa Australia, the Peel-Harvey Biosecurity Group, the Harvey Aboriginal Corporation, Perth Observatory, Waroona Police, Waroona Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade and more, there was something for everyone.
