BIOLOGY OLYMPIAD

Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity to extend our knowledge and challenge ourselves in a short period of time. The experience really helped prepare us for Year 12 Biology. and will undoubtedly make our future studies easier and more enjoyable. Although the course was intense and very difficult. we still had lots of fun and made new friends with similar interests

The Biology Olympiad Summer School was a two- week 'crash course' of first-year University Biology, held in the holidays at Monash University, Melbourne We studied a range of topics in great detail, including Immunology. plants, genetics, enzyme kinetics. animal development and systems, the cell cycle, ecology and statistics. We also completed practical work, which was a wonderful opportunity to learn experimentat10n techniques which weren't covered in school Science.

CHEMl^;T!?Y OLYMPIAD This year. eight girls participated in the Australian Chemistry Olympiad Exam. The exam tested our knowledge of challenging concepts. many of which we study only in Year 12. While the exam was quite difficult, we were able to broaden our chemistry knowledge which in no doubt will be beneficial next year
