We are very pleased to congratulate Year 11 students Weston Tabone (11 Gold) and Baxter Lill (11 Blue) on being successful in their applications to be part of the 2022 National Youth Science Forum (NYSF).
The forum is an Australia-wide STEM immersion program for students about to enter their final year of secondary schooling. The program runs during January school holidays and provides participants with the opportunity to learn about the work done by a range of Australian science organisations as well as connect with other STEM-minded students.
To be accepted students go through a thorough application and interview process.
NOTE: After the newsletter was published, the College was notified that Year 11 student Teagan McConachy was also accepted into next year's NYSF. We warmly congratulate Teagan on this achievement and wish her all the best.
I have always taken a great interest in
science and I’ve known for a long time
that I wanted a career that
followed that pathway. When I saw
the opportunity to apply for the
NYSF, which would give me an
in-depth insight into the range of
science careers, I knew that I had to
try and get involved. Although
sometimes difficult, the work required
for the application process paid off
when I was accepted. I’m super
excited to attend and to see how
science functions outside of school.
As a student that is just over a year
away from graduating from MLMC
and making career choices, the
NYSF seemed like the perfect
opportunity to help me decide
what I want to do in the future.
As someone that loves science,
I am so excited to have been
chosen to participate in the program.
I hope that by attending STEM
lectures, visiting laboratories and
speaking with both experts and
like-minded people over the
12-day program, I can better
prepare myself for life outside
of MLMC, as well as learn and
inform the other students at
our school of the opportunities
and vocations that are possible
for STEM enthusiasts.
