A Passion For Science

Ruby Moir – Year 11

Tamsin Sleigh – Year 11

The Science Faculty would like to congratulate, Year 11 students, Ruby Moir and Tamsin Sleigh on their selection for the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF). The academic performance and success with several selection panels has now provided them with the opportunity to learn from Australia’s leading scientists when they will attend the 2021 National Youth Science Forum in Canberra in January.

During the two-week program held at The Australian National University, Ruby and Tamsin will visit research and laboratory facilities in an area of scientific interest, work and talk with practising scientists and engineers about their work and participate in a range of science forums, debates and seminars.

NYSF offers an outstanding opportunity for sponsors such as CSRIO, CSL, ANSTO and ANU to connect with Australia’s best and brightest science students.

A special thank you to Michelle Libreri (’18), past St Catherine’s student and successful NYSF applicant, who mentored Ruby and Tamsin.

Ms Vanessa Jackson-McRae, Head of Science
