Oz-Tag
Today our students went to Islington Oval to compete against Islington Public School in a game of Oz-Tag as part of our Callaghan Cluster Schools partnership.
All the training and hard work the Tighes Hill Tigers put in over the past few weeks certainly paid off as we were the victorious team today with a decisive win! Excellent sportsmanship was displayed throughout the match and a great job by Ethan C who was today’s referee. Thank you to Islington for the great match!

Amazing Maths!
Today the OC received a visit from our class mathematician Dr Jarad Martin.
Dr Jarad taught our students about solving Fermi problems, named after physicist Enrico Fermi. Fermi problems are all about estimation and involve making justified guesses about quantities that seem impossible to compute given limited information.
Dr Jarad also told students about the Drake Equation which is a probabilistic argument used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. Click on the link to watch a fun animation about how the Drake Equation works.
