Congratulations to Jamieson Manger (Year 11 Silver) who was recently accepted into the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) 2020 program. During the upcoming summer holidays she will spend over a week away from home immersing herself in some of the best science conducted in Australia.

During the NYSF, students from across Australia who are about to embark on their final year of secondary education get the opportunity to live on the grounds of some of Australia’s top universities and interact with other young and like-minded scientists. Jamieson will be attending Australian National University and observing the groundbreaking work conducted by top research organisations.

Well done to the MLMC candidates who applied for the program, who are all great and dedicated young scientists. This opportunity was possible due to the support of the local Rotary Clubs who sponsor the candidates. A huge acknowledgement to the Wandin and Lilydale Rotary Clubs for their support of Jamieson and to our Rotary contacts, Registrar — Students Mr Terry Hill and also Mrs Carol Lawton, who both encouraged and guided all of our enthusiastic candidates through the application process.

We look forward to hearing from Jamieson about the NYSF when she returns next year to tackle her final year at our College.
