Victor Chang, School Science Award
Congratulations go to Kawther M and Isabella W who were awarded the Dr Victor Chang, School Science Award that celebrates young, gifted students, and aims to stimulate growth in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subject areas.
Isabella, Kawther, and their families attended the awards ceremony at Campbelltown City Council’s Civic Centre on 17 November 2022. The ceremony included a keynote address by Dr Emma Rath. She spoke about her background in information technology that laid the foundations for her career as a bioinformatician researcher.
Dr Rath spoke about heart disease being the biggest killer in Australia. Her passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) enabled her to go on to make discoveries in the area of congenital heart disease.
Isabella and Kawther were nominated for the Victor Chang School Science Award because of their aptitude and love of Science since the junior school. They are fascinated by how the universe works and are always seeking to expand their understanding.
Congratulations to these students for their outstanding efforts in Science.
