2021 Science Talent Search

We would like to warmly congratulate the Year 7 students who received awards in the 2021 Science Talent Search. The theme for 2021 was ‘Food: Different by Design’ and the Year 7s were required to create a poster that responded to one of four possible topics.

Six Shelford Girls’ Grammar students entered and all were successful, with two receiving Major Bursaries (gold medallion) and four receiving Minor Bursaries (silver medallion). To put this extraordinary achievement into perspective, Major Bursaries were awarded to the top 15% of entries in the state and Minor Bursaries were award to students in the top 35% percent of the state. All Shelford winners received a certificate, medallion and a cash prize sponsored by businesses across Victoria.

Please congratulate the following winners:
