Thornleigh West Public School
Walking might be the oldest form of transportation, but that hasn't stopped technological innovation from changing how we walk or move someone or something from one place to another.
By 4000 BC, we may have domesticated Horses, Camels and Donkeys to make travel and trade easier and more efficient. The use of trails and tracks in land was the first significant development in the history of transport.
Enrol your child to our Autumn school holiday program, so we can explore how technology have allowed people to travel farther and faster.
About our WORKshop
Our Engineering & Robotics workshops were especially designed to help kids fall in love with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths). It is about experimental learning, hands-on fun and thinking outside the box. If you've missed out on our weekly after-school programs, don't miss these.
- Up STEM Skills - learning is one thing, learning to learn is superior. We focus on analysing the problem, experimenting and prototyping to promote a lifelong love for STEM.
- Ignite Curiosity - we don't just remember answers, we leave participants with tantalising questions to promote curiosity and further exploration.
- Build Confidence - we focus on mastery giving participants the opportunity to experience 'I Can Do It'.

WHAT PARENTS & TEACHERS SAY
Thousands of happy parents are glad they enrolled their children into our holiday workshops operating at some 25 locations in QLD, NSW, VIC and WA.
'My son attended his first Holiday Camp, and he had a great time. He came back home smiling, with lots of ideas to continue his building with new Lego creations. He went for both days, which was a good amount of time for him. The staff were helpful and attentive when I had questions regarding my son's attendance. Thank you so much!
- Lisa from NSW
Elliot has continued to talk about how fun Engineering Camp was. A wonderful camp and he will be attending again in the future.'
