This week Mrs Sarah Blundell and Mrs Jeannine Ucdereli presented at the Science Teachers Association NSW K - 10 Conference in Sydney.  The conference focused on the global challenges of the 21st century and how they require citizens who are scientifically literate problem-solvers. These are critical and creative thinkers who can seek, interpret and evaluate information and apply solutions that address ethical, personal, social and intercultural dimensions. That is, citizens who possess each of the general capabilities.  Sarah and Jeannine focused their presentation on embedding the general capabilities authentically through quality literature, virtual and augmented reality.
