    STEM CLUB ๐Ÿ’ป Students have the opportunity to participate in STEM activities every Thursday afternoon. Yesterday the students were challenged to come up with ideas for how they might help an anxious new student settle into school. Working in small groups the students were brainstorming for initiatives such as a buddy system, icebreaker games, seating plans and a buddy app. Next week the Technology Leaders will be running a full week of STEM activities as the school celebrates โ€˜STEM Weekโ€™. #girlsinstem #stemclub #catherinemcauley #catherinemcauleywestmead
