Women in Science

Sisters in Science 

On Wednesday young women from a volunteer organisation called Sisters in Science talked to Year 10 students during Personal Learning. MGSC ex-student Evie Tripp (2016) was the organiser of this particular event. The 'Sisters’ work in a variety of STEAM jobs ranging from engineering to cell biology. Each Year 10 group rotated around to have the chance to talk to four Sisters, ask questions, laugh together and engage with women being successful in STEMM industries. 

Thank you to Sue Cook for co-organising the visit and all staff who assisted from preparing the lunchtime BBQ and everything else.
