STS – mEET ThE NEW TEAm

Pamela Getalado

The STAWA Science Talent Search (STS) is an annual competition where students from Kindergarten to Year 12 can develop their interests in science. We are delighted to introduce to you the new team for the 2023 Science Talent Search.

Anne has been involved with the STS program for the past 8 years and is “looking forward to witnessing the innovation and creativity central to all student entries”. She hopes that “more schools enter the competition, bringing fresh perspectives, ideas, and experiences in tackling real-world challenges and in answering questions in science that matter to them”.

When asked about what she is excited about when taking over her new role as the STS Coordinator, Anne says that she is looking forward to:

• Promoting the importance of science inquiry skills in schools,

• Building relationships with schools and teachers, and

• Maintaining the integrity of a competition that has been running for over 60 years.

Science and Human Biology Teacher, Carmel School. We welcome Anne as our new Science Talent Search Coordinator.

Pamela first worked with the STS team last year. She is responsible for promoting and marketing the STS through in-person conferences and events, plus online avenues (STAWA website, STAWA Facebook page, and email communications).

Pamela will be working to engage more schools and assist those already registered and is also responsible for helping to prepare and organise certificates, trophies, and prizes for the students.

STAWA would also like to say farewell and a HUGE thank you to our outgoing STS Coordinator, Julie Weber (SCSA). Julie has coordinated the event for an amazing 12 years and we sincerely thank her for working tirelessly to ensure that every STS event ran smoothly.
