Nurturing Knowledge, Growing Curiosity: BMS Science Fair 2026

Science came alive today at Brisbane Montessori School… are you ready to get curious?

This year's National Science Week theme, ‘Seeds of Science - Nurturing Knowledge for All,’ invites us to explore how curiosity, inquiry and shared learning help scientific understanding take root and grow, much like a seed given the right conditions to flourish. The theme resonates deeply with our Montessori philosophy. Just as we nurture each child's natural curiosity and allow their understanding to develop through hands-on, self-directed exploration, National Science Week celebrates learning as an organic process: one that grows from a spark of wonder into deep, lasting knowledge.

We celebrated the joy of science at our very own BMS Science Fair, where students got curious, experimented and had plenty of fun along the way.

National Science Week aims to spark genuine excitement about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, encouraging young people to see themselves as capable scientific thinkers who can ask questions, investigate the world around them and contribute meaningfully to tomorrow's discoveries.

Our Year 7-10 students transformed the Poseidon Lab, Deck and Gardens into a science playground, welcoming Lower and Upper Primary students to explore a series of hands-on experiments and investigations throughout the day. In true Montessori spirit, the fair celebrated learning through doing: following questions, discovering connections and making sense of scientific concepts in the world around us.

What a wonderful day to see the seeds of scientific thinking, nurtured every day in our classrooms, take root, grow and flourish.
