Burdekin Christian College hosted a lively crowd on Friday 23 May for its annual Under 8’s Day Science Fair, bringing science to life for early learners in creative, hands-on ways.
Held from 9:00am to 10:30am, the event featured a variety of themed stations where children explored everything from outer space and forensic science to medical experiments and bug hunting. Activities included fossil digs, stethoscope building, anatomy displays and more—all designed to make science fun and accessible for young minds.
The campus was alive with activity as local emergency services joined in and a Honeycombs tractor display rolled in for a closer look. The Atomic Café was also in full swing, offering snacks and drinks for students, families and visitors.
In a message posted after the event, the school wrote:
“Thank you to the several hundred children and parents who made the day such a special one.”
Next on the calendar is the Burdekin Christian College Open Day, taking place Sunday 8 June from 1pm to 3pm.
Families are invited to explore the Prep–Year 12 campus, meet staff, tour classrooms and check out programs in science, robotics, the arts and more. The afternoon also includes student performances, face painting, cooking demos, and a free sausage sizzle—plus coffee and cream tea for the grown-ups.
Open to the public and free to attend, it’s an ideal opportunity to see what BCC has to offer.
