Our annual Student Futures & Pathways Expo has not disappointed with more than 20 alumnae across three nights speaking with our Year 10 girls, inspiring them with the career possibilities that await them.
Fifteen of our Year 10 & 11 students explored the interactive art/science exhibit MENTAL, the inaugural exhibition at Science Gallery Melbourne. Through participatory experiences, the girls were immersed in a world curated in collaboration with artists, scientists and engineers.
Congratulations to our five Year 11 Science students who have been selected to participate in the Prof Harry Messel International Science School, run by the University of Sydney.
We look forward to hearing about the experiences from the students later in the year.
