Synchrotron Excursion

On the 12th of September, students from year 11 and 12 who are studying physics went on a remarkable excursion to visit the synchrotron. This turned out to be a fantastic opportunity for the students, offering both an educational and enjoyable experience. They were not only excited but also thrilled to see the only synchrotron in the southern hemisphere.

During their visit, both classes engaged in hands-on experimental activities that were directly related to their physics curriculum. These practical exercises reinforced classroom learning and brought science to life in an exciting way.

The students were left amazed by the wide-ranging uses of synchrotron technology, especially in the field of medicine. 

The scientists at the synchrotron were impressed by the answers provided by our physics students and their active participation in exploring this scientific marvel. It was a truly great excursion that enriched the students' minds and fostered a deeper appreciation for the world of physics and its real-world applications.
