2017 Regis STEAM Exhibition
On Friday 18th November, the annual Regis
STEAM Exhibition was held in Regis Hall,
where the boys’ projects and work from
Visual Arts and STEM during the year were
showcased. Parents and students from
Years 5 and 6 gathered to view the works,
and several boys were awarded prizes for
their excellent efforts.
The exhibition demonstrated the
enthusiasm and hard work many of the
students have applied to the creative arts.
Artworks included a very visually dramatic
scene of two ceramic warrior armies facing
off before battle and a wonderful mural
created by the Art Club students.
The students’ problem solving, engineering
skills, ability to collaborate and build
high quality models and projects from
the STEM topics were evident in the
high quality of the work displayed. There
were wonderful projects showing Mars
Colonies, Claymations, new sports games,
an Amusement Park made of WeDo2 Lego,
Truss and Suspension Bridges, Little Bits
Inventions, EV3 robots and new online
games the boys had created by designing
their own code. other on the ingenuity and innovation they
showed in their designs.
It was wonderful to see the students
excitedly showing their work to their
parents and peers, and congratulating each K AT E A N D E R S O N ,

The event had a wonderful atmosphere due
to the ambience provided by the musicians
of the College. We also raised money for
Timor Leste with several boys busking and
the sale of plants from the Gardening Club.
Thank you to all involved in the Visual Arts
and STEM topics this Semester. It was
wonderful to see the imagination and hard
work demonstrated by the students.
