Here are the schools we are currently deliver to:
Optional Add Ons
What’s In The Water!
We are proud to offer an additional experience for students through our partnership with Sea World. The “What’s In The Water?” program guides senior students in Chemistry, Marine Science, and Aquatic Practices to investigate the physical and chemical factors that sustain healthy ocean ecosystems. Through hands-on water testing, students compare water quality in a controlled aquarium and a natural environment.
Students are encouraged to examine how human activities, especially climate change, affect marine life by altering chemical processes in natural systems. Students will explore the critical role of water as a key abiotic factor, study the impacts of ocean acidification, and learn how monitoring techniques can promote marine sustainability. “What’s in the Water?” integrates relevant chemical, oceanographic, and environmental concepts from the units of MSL20122 Certificate II in Sampling and Measurement.
Day In The Life of a Scientist
The “Day in the Life of a Scientist” program at QIMR Berghofer is designed for Year 10, 11, and 12 students who are considering a career in science. This program provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a working laboratory while interacting with scientists involved in cutting-edge medical research. During the program, students will engage in a variety of enriching activities. They will participate in a hands-on experimental activity in a state-of-the-art education laboratory. Additionally, students have the option to hear from researchers who are at the forefront of scientific discovery and to tour the Institute’s world-class medical research facilities.
The program offers four half-day experimental activities. Students can choose from the following options: Cell Biology with a focus on blood microscopy, Disease studies emphasising antimicrobial drug discovery, Immunology with a concentration on diagnosing Ross River virus, and Genetics exploring DNA and inheritance.
