Science Camp Opportunity for Year 11 Students

The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) is a fun and educational camp for Year 11 students interested in Science. Back more than 20 years ago, Mrs Sharma attended NYSF, and had a fantastic time – she even met her husband there!

Introducing the 2024 NYSF Year 12 Program

The NYSF Year 12 Program is designed to give students a broader understanding of the diverse study and career options available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and to encourage continued studies in these fields.​

The NYSF Year 12 Program runs two summer sessions. Participants stay at university colleges and are immersed in science and technology. 

2024 dates and locations

1. The Australian National University, Canberra (5-13 January 2024)
2. The University of Queensland, Brisbane (12-20 January 2024)

For further information about the program, see here.

Current Year 11 students can start preparing their applications by:

1. Finding a copy of their most recent school report
2. Asking a teacher to complete a reference
3. Drafting answers to the application questions
4. If they’ll need financial support to attend the program, reach out to their local Rotary Club to enquire about possible support.

For further information on the application, see here.

If you have any further questions, please see Mrs Sharma or Mr Hanson.
