One day when I was ten, I woke up really early, got in the car, and immediately fell asleep again. Hours later, my family arrived. I looked at the cruise ship. It had lots of ocean-related paintings on it: turtles, starfish, and a big cruise ship. At the top, there was a big water slide that went right over the ship. My family and I went into a building with security similar to an airport. After a bunch of security checks, we got on the cruise ship and ate lunch at a massive buffet. After eating some actual food, I ate three whole bowls of ice cream with tons of toppings. After a huge feast, I just sat there and played on my dad’s phone because nothing was open yet and we had to wait until everything started opening. I waited and waited until everything started opening. After, once everything opened, I went outside and tried out the rope course. It was amazing! There were tons of ziplines and it was at the highest level of the ship, which was about sixty feet high, and there was this board that went over the ship. Some very brave people, including me, were brave enough to go on it. I ended up going on it about 10 times. After, I played mini golf with my little brother and then went to the water park, which consisted of a pool with giant waves, some giant water slides–the ones you go down with a tube– AND a really fast one where you just go straight down. It literally drops you from the top, the ground just slides away and you drop straight down and then go through a giant loop into a little place with water activities for babies, and a hot tub for adults only. Then it was time for dinner. My family and I went to a really fancy restaurant and we had to wear really fancy clothing, too. After dinner, I watched a movie at the theatre. It ended at 11 and I fell asleep thinking about what I was going to do tomorrow.

In March 2025, South Korea is set to introduce textbooks powered by AI. This upgrade in public school systems will cost up to $276 million dollars. South Korea believes in becoming the world leaders in electronic education and AI learning.
So, what does this mean for everyday school students in Australia? Will your next teacher be a robot?

Recent data and coral surveys from CSIRO have recorded that a natural phenomenon is occurring in continental drop-off zones where the East Australian Current raises cold water closer to the surface causing the “localised” parts of the reef to be temporarily cooler than other parts. This is important because recent coral bleaching events have impacted over 90% of coral species, and any chance for the coral to adapt to the rising temperature could be vital for the survival of the Great Barrier Reef and its inhabitants.

Recent trials at RMIT University investigated the usage of textiles in concrete. Surprisingly, over 70% of textiles can be used in concrete. This means that even some of the most un- recyclable materials like fire-fighter gear can be used. This is significant because recycling these materials causes a reduction in landfill and pollution. By using fibrous materials and textiles, the concrete is essentially ‘bound’ together, avoiding cracking and breakages.

The push for schools to incorporate AI into the education system has surged in recent years, especially with AI models like ChatGPT becoming increasingly popular. Students have started to heavily utilise AI models for many aspects of their learning, but the question remainds: does AI belong in schools?
