Today, Santa Sophia students celebrated World Engineering Day from RAAF Base Richmond.
Santa Sophia and other CEDP students, teachers and professionals gained exposure of the complex engineering capabilities and support functions in the Australian Defence Force.
Engineers in the Royal Australian Air Force presented to an audience of students about how they contribute to Australian Defence Force capabilities and what their role represents. The live display of RAAF Engineering included a demonstration of an Air Load Drop to showcase how engineering contributes to safe Air Cargo Delivery.
One of our teachers, Mr Chris Hersey, who was in the Airforce as an Armament Engineer for over 27 years, also spoke to the audience about STEM in schools. The students who attended were grateful for the tremendous opportunity!

Japan Cultural Tour Highlights 📸 Our tour has been packed with incredible cultural experiences! We watched an exciting sumo demonstration, tried our hand at a sushi-making class, and travelled on the Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto. 🚄 In Kyoto, we slowed the pace with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony 🍵, exploring the busy marketplaces and traditional streets. We have admired the breathtaking beauty of the Bamboo Forest 🎋 and the Golden Temple (Kinkaku-ji) and other shrines 🏯⛩️
