Year 12 Chemistry

Titration Stakes competition

Congratulations to the six Year 12 Chemistry students who competed in the Royal Australian Chemistry Institute’s (RACI) Titration Stakes at Curtin University on Tuesday, 25 June. After a fierce internal competition in class, and after-school practice sessions, two teams were selected from the Chemistry ATAR class to represent the College. The stakes were high as the competition tested the students' accuracy and precision and practical knowledge of acid-base chemistry.

This competition is a great opportunity to represent the College and to put into practice chemistry knowledge that is used by chemists every day in real life.

Our students competed against 77 teams from 50 schools across the wider Perth metropolitan area. SNC Team One included Ben Rowlands, Dawn Saji, and Millenium Paneru who placed 59th and SNC Team Two which included Simran Shivnani, Dylan Wemyss, and Sanjita Ghimire who placed 40th, in a competition where the results have never been closer.

Both teams are to be commended for their enthusiasm, maturity, and dedication towards the competition.

Thank you to Mrs Bunyan for accompanying the students to Curtin University and to our lab technician Ms Nugent for preparing the practice solutions and glassware for the competition.
