Sydney Pharmacy School First Nations Camp

In the January school holidays, two of our students had an incredible opportunity to attend the Sydney Pharmacy School First Nations Camp run by the University of Sydney.

Under the guidance of current lecturers and students, True Johnson and Violet Parmagos were able to learn about the different roles of pharmacists by going to compounding labs at Pfizer, Westmead hospital and the university pharmacy labs. They also experienced cultural excursions around Sydney on the Tribal Warrior.

I liked looking at the lab and seeing everything that’s in there and also watching as the reactions happened with all the ingredients that we put in. It was fascinating.

I learnt a lot more of the behind the scenes with pharmacy. Before I just saw pharmacy as getting pills and prescriptions. The whole experience opened my eyes to a career in the medical field.
