“We hope that through this award, students will be encouraged to continue developing their science investigation skills in high school and beyond and maybe go on to achieve great things.”

Science Awards support science growth and interest in the community by providing a greater awareness of the critical role science plays in society.

Each award recipient will be recognised at their school’s graduation ceremony and receive a certificate, free pass to Scitech, science encyclopaedia, and discounted CSIRO Double Helix subscription.
