On Saturday 17 June two teams of three Year 12 students participated in the annual National Titration Competition held at the University of Western Sydney by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI). This competition involves students performing a scientific technique that allows chemists to accurately determine the concentration of acids and bases.

From the 26 schools that competed, the girls’ team finished equal 3rd and the boys team finished 11th, showing that STEM isn’t just for the boys. This was a phenomenal effort with both teams outperforming ten teams from a prestigious selective school and two teams from one of our neighbouring Colleges.

Well done to Jemima Leslie, Adina Varkey, Priyanka Kumar, Cameron Eggins, Doohan Murphy and Ryan Holmes. A big thanks to Miss Hanna for giving up afternoons helping our student master their techniques and her Saturday to supervise and support them.
