Bright Sparks at Long Bay College Two Long Bay College Electronics students were amongst the finalists at the National ASB Bright Sparks Competition recently. Year 11 student Ben Fletcher came 3rd in the Engineering category (against mostly Year 13 students from around New Zealand), and won the People’s Choice Award, decided by online voting throughout NZ for his Fishing Torpedo - an invention used to
drop a fishing line out to sea from the beach. Hayden Schimdt (Year 9) won the Engineering (Junior) category with his invention “Tech Grip” - a device that is used by Hand Therapists to determine improvement in grip strength after a hand injury. Hayden also got 2nd place for both the Science and Software category.
The Young Designer Awards The tradition of excellence in Design and Visual Communication continues at Long Bay College. For well over a decade, students of this subject have gained some of the top awards in national competitions and earn mostly excellence and merit grades in NCEA. The Young Designer Awards is an annual, prestigious national design competition for secondary school students, held in Christchurch and judged by a panel of industry experts. Working from a given design brief in a range of categories, two Year 10 students were recently awarded some of the top places in this competition. Congratulations to Emma Smith who won 1st place Residential Architecture, and Bella McMahon who came 2nd place Residential Architecture.
