Brain Bee Challenge - State Finals 2017

The Australian Brain Bee Challenge is the country’s only neuroscience competition for high school students. It is designed to test students’ knowledge of neuroscience and associated conditions/diseases of the brain as well as engage with students who may be interested in pursuing neuroscience as a career.

Students from 18 schools participated in the State final, which was held on Monday 24 July, selected from a starting field of more than 400 teenagers.

St Norbert College was the winning school for the team competition and Dawn Saji came third in the individual challenge.

Congratulations to our Year 10 students: Dawn Saji, Millenium Paneru, Yajnah Juggessur and Mika Bautista who competed in the team challenge and special mention to Dawn for taking the third place in individual challenge.
