Opportunities for students to extend and challenge themselves in the STEM areas are varied and vast at Ayr State High School. Ayr High’s strong tradition in STEM has been achieved over many decades of staff dedication and desire to give students access to opportunities that city schools take for granted.
This year, so far, Sophie Robertson (Yr 12) has just returned from the prestigious 2-week National Youth Science Forum at the Australian National University in Canberra, where she had the opportunity to work with leading industry experts and academics. Sophie follows in the footsteps of many Ayr High alumni who also attended this forum.
Also, attending the Curious Minds summer camp in Adelaide over the holidays, was Year 10 student Evana Bello. Evana had an amazing experience visiting University of South Australia and was linked to her STEM Coach, who will continue to work with her on the STEM Coaching aspect of the program in the coming months. Like Sophie, Evana had the opportunity to form networks and participate in a range of interesting and fun STEM activities not normally available in a school setting.
Over the coming year there will be many more opportunities both at school and externally, that students at Ayr High will be able to participate in. We look forward to many more good news stories in the coming months.
