News Outside the Fort<\/strong><\/div>\n

Congratulations to Edmund Derwent (HSC 2020) who addressed the Careers Advisers Conference at the University of Sydney last week, in his role as a USyd Student Ambassador.<\/p>\n

Edmund is currently in his fifth year of a combined Law and Biomedical Engineering degree. He also works full time as a Systems Engineer in the liver transplant team at RPA hospital, and is also a tutor at the University of Sydney in Anatomy, Physiology and Biomedical Physics. He has been the Youth Outreach Co-ordinator for Engineers Without Borders, and has recently returned from a six-month exchange program at ETH university in Zurich Switzerland, where amongst other things he assisted in ACL repair surgery and was allowed to do surgery on rats.<\/p>\n

Edmund is an exceptional ambassador for the university and a proud Fortian, and the Fort Street community is delighted to learn about Edmund’s ongoing academic successes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Award<\/strong><\/div>\n
Fort Street and the University of Sydney both have a long history of academic achievement as two of the oldest institutions in Sydney. Below are photos of Christina Lam being awarded the University of Sydney Year 10 Academic. Congratulations Christina!<\/span><\/div>\n
