College mentors primary students

Brisbane Water Secondary College students mentored Year 5 students from primary schools in a Gifted and Talented Students Day at Umina on Tuesday, September 21.

Primary school students worked with maths and PE teachers and Year 9 peer mentors from the Umina Campus.

Students gained a better understanding of mathematical concepts such as prediction and probability, centre of gravity, biomechanics and measures of fitness including agility and speed.

The students compared their speed to that of Usain Bolt, took fitness tests, played Frisbee golf and judged a mini athletics competition of shot put, flags and relay.
