Weekly Wrap Up – Week 3, Term 1 2026
From the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space, Week 3 reminded us just how vibrant learning can be at Santa Maria College. Our students across all year levels embraced academic, co-curricular, faith and community experiences.
Weekly Wrap Up Items:
Year 10 Geography: Our Year 10 Geography students created a ‘Beach in a Box’ to deepen their understanding of natural coastlines as part of their Environmental Change and Management unit. The hands-on project strengthened collaboration and critical thinking as students explored how coastal environments are shaped and protected.
Artist in Residence: We were delighted to introduce Ian Daniell to our Artist in Residence program, with students across a range of year groups exploring the ocean life of Western Australia through creative workshops.
