The Victor Chang School Science Awards aim to foster and encourage an interest in science among secondary school students, with the goal of promoting careers in STEM as a viable and interesting career path.
Established in 2004, the Victor Chang School Science Awards celebrate young, gifted students, and aim to stimulate growth in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subject areas.
The awards are targeted at government school students in Year 11, situated in all corners of the state, including Broken Hill, Wagga Wagga, Dubbo and Blacktown.
Nominated by their teachers for their tenacity and commitment in the science classroom, the Year 11 winners are invited to tour the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.
This opportunity allows students to receive real life laboratory experience and gain an understanding of what our researchers do on a daily basis. It's hoped this shows students how rewarding a career in medical research can be.
If you would like your school to be involved, please contact your relevant council or Department of Education Representative listed below.
