Science Immersion Day
One of the highlights for many Year 10 students is going to Monash University and meeting researchers.
On Friday, 15 June all Year 10 students attended Science Immersion Day at Monash University, run exclusively for JMSS by Monash Science researchers.
Students attended three engaging, hands-on workshops across the following fields:
- Biological Science
- Biomedical Science
- Chemistry
- Earth Atmosphere and Environment
- Mathematical Science
- Physics and Astronomy
It was an exciting day of learning and incredible experiences, with many students leaving with a broader understanding of the practical science and research opportunities that may await them at the completion of their high school studies.

Australian’s Mesozoic Menagerie: Dinosaurs from the Age of Reptiles

To date, only twenty Australian dinosaurs from the Mesozoic Era (251-66 million years ago) have been formally named on the basis of fossilised bones. This means that we have little idea of what these dinosaurs were like throughout much of their existence.
Monash Science and Innovation Hub and Monash Libraries are inviting all students, staff and parents to hear Dr Stephen Poropat from Swinburne University talk about his recent research on fossils including his work on digs in the Winton Area. This year’s excavations were some of the most successful to date!
