THURSDAY JUNE 25, 2009 - HORNSBY ADVOCATE

Budding scientists from Hornsby North Public School showcased their work at a science expo last week.

The annual event, for kindergarten to year 6 students has grown so large that the school has to hold four separate expos to cater for all the participants.

Last week years 5 and 6 students had their works on display.

Principal Maree Sumpton said the school placed a focus on science lessons and also ran specialised events for senior students, including a term on Lego robotics.

"The science program at Hornsby North is an outstanding program preparing the children for life-long learning," she said.

"At the science expo the demonstrations and explanations by students clearly indicate that they understand the scientific processes at an advanced level.
