    Great effort team Rapaura, I really enjoyed talking to the different groups about your projects, results and conclusions, you taught me lots of interesting facts and I think I might be squirting strawberries with honey mixture from now on. It was great strolling the Science fair and enjoying all the exhibits. Well done to you all 🙂

    Extremely proud of all students that entered an inquiry in at the Marlborough Science Fair this year. Every time we do this I’m amazed at the topics and the time and effort that students put into it. A big thanks to Bruce Rudge for being our expert and helping us .
