Enrichment Opportunities
Ruyton students always embrace the numerous opportunities to participate in Science enrichment activities, and this year has been no exception. In Term 1 Psychology students competed in the Australian Brain Bee Challenge, with a team of four students: Georgia Noonan, Isabella Weeding-Hill, Elizabeth Willis and Katarina Subic, progressing to the State Final. The Big Science Competition is a challenging written examination which is offered to all students in Years 7 to 12, and despite being held on a cold Friday afternoon in May, 47 students, representing all year levels, elected to compete. The results of this competition were outstanding. Four students from Year 9 have been accepted into the Siemens Science Experience and have had their applications sponsored by Balwyn Rotary Club. These students will attend 3 day programmes at Universities in Melbourne and Regional Victoria in the coming holidays to participate in workshops, practical activities and lectures from prominent Australian science researchers.
