In2Science eMentoring

Do you enjoy Science or Maths? Are you interested in finding out what it's like to study your type of Science at university? Whether it is engineering, biology, psychology, forensics, coding or mathematics! Do you want to know what it is like to go to university? The In2Science eMentoring program is a 10 week program that connects you with a university student. You meet via Teams on a weekly basis and your mentor can help you with your school work, show you what it's like to study at university, and chat with you about what interests you in Science. For semester 2, there are lots of mentors who are keen to connect with students and their interests, even if it’s something to look forward to every week that’s not directly related to school work!

If you would like to be involved in the In2Science eMentoring program in Semester 2, contact Mrs. Raine for more information.
