Olympiad Competition and Crystal Growing Results

Science has some very exciting news to share about the excellent results we have achieved this term!

National Science Olympiad Competition

Throughout this year, a number of Year 10 and Year 11 students worked very hard and attended Science training sessions up to three times per week at Sydney Grammar School to train for the National Chemistry, Physics and/or Biology Olympiad. These exams are extremely challenging and require much preparation, dedication and practice. Thus, it is with great pride that we congratulate the following students:

Distinction

Crystal Growing Competition Awards

Earlier this year, students entered the RACI NSW Crystal Growing competition. They had some beautiful crystals that looked like diamonds! Competition was fierce, with many schools across the state competing.

A number of the students achieved highly commended certificates and the School was awarded second Place for best crystals entered overall. And now, it is with great pride that we can announce that Sophia Surridge was awarded First in the whole of NSW! 

Five of the students’ crystals were of high enough quality that they progressed to the next round, the National competition. In this competition, we are very pleased to announce that Sophia Surridge gained Third Prize Nationally!

So, a big congratulations to the following students.

First in NSW and Third in Australia

Highly Commended
