REx Regional Exchange

Join the Regional Science Exchange (REx) as one of our JMSS Ambassadors!

The REx program has been running annually since 2012 and invites small cohorts of Year 10 students (who have talent, interest, curiosity and enthusiasm in the areas of STEM) from rural and regional Victoria to visit Melbourne and experience teaching and learning at JMSS. They participate in Year 10 classes, conduct research and present their results at an EEI Virtual Symposium, attend workshops at Monash University, and tour the CBD.

This 2-week Exchange is open to Regional Year 10 Students and will be running again in Term 2 of 2025 from: 11th May to 23rd May.

This year, JMSS students in Year 10 are invited to apply to participate as JMSS Ambassadors.

• Attend a series of planning meetings to prepare to host REx Students,

• Organise a series of activities for the students 

• Attend the REx Welcome Lunch on Sunday 11th May 2025

• Act as a guide and a friend to one or more of these students during their time at JMSS (assist with getting to classes, accessing resources etc.)

• Attend at least one or both weekend REx excursions to the CBD (17th/18th May)

In recognition of your participation, you will receive:
