College Information & Events
27 March
In 2023 Damascus College will be represented by 5 enthusiastic Year 9 students at the Girls in STEM program offered by the Ballarat Tech School. Beginning this past week, 60 excited girls from 13 local and regional schools came together to share 2 days of STEM focused experiences, activities, challenges. All 60 girls displayed courage, persistence, and an enthusiasm to work with new people to tackle a real industry challenge, that was simply outstanding.
Day 1 saw students meeting other GIS delegates for the first time and building connections through shared experiences in laser cutting, studio recording, virtual reality and problem solving.
On Day 2 students work in mixed school teams of 3 to solve a real industry problem. Mars Wrigley staff presented the students with a quality control challenge to separate subquality Maltesers from the production line before packaging.
We are also very proud of our Haileigh Buttigieg (Year 10) one of the inaugural Girls in STEM Student Leaders who represented herself and her school with dignity and professional maturity and was on hand to lead, support and help all participants, industry guests and Tech School staff.
