Junior School - Oliphant Science Awards

Almost 50 students from the Junior School entered the Oliphant Science Awards competition this year, which was open from June to August.

Students could choose to enter from a variety of categories, including posters, photography, models and inventions, science writing, crystal investigation, games and multimedia.

Our Junior School entrants worked really hard on their projects, showing creativity, persistence and excellent scientific understanding. Their efforts resulted in some amazing entries, so much so that several students have been awarded prizes for their projects. We would like to congratulate the following prize winners: Annika Ganesh – Year 5-6 Posters Maryam (Cedra) Sawad – R-2 Posters Lila Nassery and Adeline Wilson – R-2 Games Maryam (Cedra) Sawad, Isha Wechalekar and Aayana Butt – R-2 Models & Inventions

Specific placings have not yet been announced, but the girls will find out if they were awarded 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in Term 4. We look forward to sharing this with you.

I would also like to acknowledge the following students who narrowly missed out on winning a prize and were ranked as ‘Highly Commended’: Isla Balestrin – Year 3-4 Photography Edie Lydeamore and Evangeline Lee – Year 3-4 Games Vivienne Childs – R-2 Photography Jessica Mah – Year 3-4 Posters

We congratulate all of our Junior School girls on their entries and for the time and effort they put into their projects. It is so nice to see so many of our students loving their science.
