Science Update 

National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) 

Between 6 and 18 January, two fortunate Year 12 students, Billy Stewart and Rebecca Wallace, attended the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) in Perth and Canberra respectively.   Over 450 students Australia wide were selected to participate in this unique Science experience focusing on Science, Maths, Medicine and Engineering. 

Throughout the 12 days, the students attended university lectures from leading scientists, participated in various hands-on workshops and made many like-minded friends. NYSF is recognised globally as being a prestigious event and those in the industry hold participants in high regard.

“NYSF was a phenomenal experience, and we urge any Year 11 student who is interested in Science to apply”. – Rebecca Wallace and Billy Stewart.

The National Youth Science Forum applications open online later in the year and a range of scholarships are offered by Rotary Clubs to assist funding the students.
