Sunbury Heights Primary School is proud to be the lead school for the Sunbury Schools R.E.A.L Robotics Program, an ambitious year-long initiative that builds STEM capability across the Sunbury community.
The program involves 2 local secondary schools and 7 local primary schools, who come together to explore robotics, engineering and coding through hands-on, future-focused learning.
Delivered in partnership with Salesforce, the R.E.A.L Robotics Program provides students with access to industry-aligned technologies, professional insights, and authentic problem-solving experiences.
Using Lego “Spike” robotics kits and Sphero robots, students:
Build and program autonomous robots
Apply engineering and computational thinking
Collaborate to solve real-world challenges
Develop creativity, resilience and leadership
Throughout the year, students prepare for and participate in the FIRST® LEGO® League Australia Competition, where they showcase their designs, research, and teamwork on a national stage.
Our leadership in the R.E.A.L Robotics Program reflects our strong commitment to STEM education and our belief in providing students with meaningful opportunities to innovate, explore, and thrive.
