This week is Science Week and with a focus on curiosity and questioning, I wanted to learn more from my peers that take STEM A-Levels. Below are five things I have learnt from my research after taking a quote from each student below.
This week’s F1 race is the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix. It’s the first sprint weekend of the year, bringing anticipation to an already interesting new season. The F1 sprint race format debuted in 2021 at Silverstone. Since then, the way sprints work has been altered in many ways to make them more exciting and higher-stakes. Despite these changes, many fans and drivers are still against sprints.
This week, as we celebrate the achievements of scientists, it is important to acknowledge the WHS alumnae who have made substantial contributions to the sciences and have served as trailblazers in industries historically dominated by men. While this is by no means an exhaustive list, as WHS has had countless former students championing in scientific fields, we have compiled a list of five alumnae from throughout the school’s history whose remarkable stories and contributions have helped shape the world of science for generations to come.
Few habits feel as harmless – or as tempting – as the daytime nap after a tough day at school. A quick lie-down between lessons, in the car, a “power nap” after school, ten minutes that quietly stretches into an hour. In a society that often celebrates productivity hacks and sleep optimisation, napping is frequently displayed as a smart way to reset energy.
But beneath its cosy reputation, daytime napping carries hidden biological and psychological costs that are often overlooked.
After months of anticipation, the wait is finally over. The 2026 Formula 1 season is starting this Sunday at 4am! Despite the early start, the Australian Grand Prix is going to be an amazing way to begin the season. Speculation and predictions rooted in pre-season testing results will finally be challenged when cars go racing for the first time this season.
