Titration Competition

Nine Year 12 Chemistry students represented the College in the 2025 NSW Titration Competition at The University of Sydney on Thursday 5 June. Held annually by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, the Titration Competition aims to inspire senior students to enhance their passion for chemistry and develop valuable hands-on laboratory skills. 

We were fortunate enough to enter three teams of three students who conducted experiments in a university chemistry laboratory. Each student carried out two rounds of acid–base titration experiments, an essential skill of Year 12 Chemistry, with the aim of finding the concentration of an unknown solution. Students had only 90 minutes to complete all six of their titration experiments and calculations, with the goal of being the most accurate group, competing against each other and other schools.

Weeks of before and after school training sessions paid off as one of our teams came second and one of our teams came first with perfect calculations.

It is wonderful to have such diligent and talented chemists at the College.
