Oliphant Science Awards Final Results

We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Scientific Inquiry component of the Oliphant Science Awards held on Friday 20 October at Brighton High School. 

The Scientific Inquiry component required our students to follow a scientific method of investigation of an original inquiry which included evidence of extensive reading of the student's chosen topic.

Congratulations go to the following students:

Caleb (Year 9) achieved first prize with his investigation on: Which metals dissolve the most when introduced to 2M hydrochloric acid?

Hannah (Year 9) was awarded second place with her inquiry on: How effective is bleach to remove certain stains?

Yingge (Maggie) (Year 9) was awarded the prestigious 'Wine Australia' prize. This is given to the most outstanding entries from either posters or scientific inquiry that highlight food chemistry, for her detailed inquiry on: What makes some teas more acidic than others?

Thank you to Janelle Reeves for all her administrative work and thank you to the supporting teachers: Nicole Brooks, Heather Edwards, George Skouroumounis, and Allison Storey.
