The final was held at the Florey Institute at the University of Melbourne on the 28th of July. Students attended the whole day event where they competed in a challenge and then attended a series of workshops and tours through some Neuroscience laboratories and also the Cunningham Dax Museum. 

All students represented the school well. None made it through to the next round though.
