2026 Marie Curie Lecture for Schools – Painting the universe: A visual and musical exploration of space-time with Dr Karelle Siellez
Join us to explore the story of gravitational waves and the cosmic collisions that create the elements we are made of through a weaving together of sound, art and astrophysics. Through “multi-messenger” signals like kilonovae and gamma-ray bursts, discover how the cosmos communicates its most violent events. Blending scientific insights with creative expression, this talk…

STEM City
Our school will design and construct a large-scale, collaborative “STEM City” using upcycled cardboard and Makedo kits. Each class will create a component representing a different area of science, including forces (bridges and ramps), energy (renewable energy models), biology (habitats and ecosystems), and Earth science (weather systems and landscapes). Students will engage in hands-on design,…
