On behalf of Saint Ignatius College, I would like to congratulate Sophie Skuza (11 Bellarmine) for being selected to attend the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Year 12 Program. This is a 12-day residential program held in Canberra and Brisbane in January of 2019, with students from all over Australia participating.
The NYSF provides students a broader understanding of the diverse study and career options available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and to encourage continued studies in these fields.
The selection process in highly competitive, with Sophie’s written application and interviews impressing the panels to be endorsed by Rotary Lara and selected at the regional final over the weekend. I commend Sophie for her hard work and hope she has a rewarding experience at the NYSF.

"I applied for the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Year 12 program in hopes to open up more opportunities for further study and my future career in my current field of interest, biomedical science; to learn more about the role of science in our society and the ways that STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) can help us to solve problems that humanity faces; to connect and form networks with likeminded individuals from across Australia; and to improve my interpersonal skills.
I have had a strong passion for science ever since I was very young, and my ‘dream job’ has always been to become a researcher and help improve the lives of people worldwide. I am very excited that I have been given the opportunity to attend the NYSF Year 12 program and I am hoping to meet people who will help me to achieve my goals and guide me along the right path."
