On Wednesday, May 15, Grahamvale Primary School was abuzz as students eagerly awaited the arrival of their grandparents, parents and other significant figures to join them in the classroom.

As part of Education Week, students proudly did a ‘show and tell’ for their special guests of the various STEM activities they’ve been undertaking.

The News photographer Rechelle Zammit was behind the lens to capture the grade-A fun they had.
