Despite the Victorian COVID lockdown, Science students participated in the online R.A.C.I. International Chemistry Quiz. The Quiz attracted entries from schools across Australia, Asia, England, Canada and Switzerland. The aims of the Quiz are to promote and encourage an awareness of the nature and relevance of Chemistry amongst secondary school students.

All VCE Chemistry and interested Years 9 and 10 students participated in the Quiz. Students joined Ms Jackson-McRae online at various times to complete the Quiz.  The results are a reflection of our Science teachers’ and students’ passion for Science.
