STEMPals program

The STEMpals program, created by Dr Jennifer Payne of The Curiosity Factory, connects Year 5 students with real STEM professionals, sparking a genuine curiosity for science. As the first school in Western Australia to offer this program, Holy Cross College gives their students a special chance to see how their classroom lessons come to life in the real world. Through these personal letter exchanges, students improve their writing, discover exciting STEM careers, and build meaningful relationships with mentors who truly care about their growth, boosting their confidence and making STEM both accessible and exciting.
