BUDDING science student Grace Ng, Year 10 at Gippsland Grammar, has been invited to take part in the Regional Science Exchange program at John Monash Science School – Victoria’s first specialist secondary school for science, mathematics and associated technologies. Grace will enjoy three weeks in July-August rubbing shoulders with experts in their field and other like-minded, talented students gaining hands-on learning in a variety of scientific disciplines on-campus at Monash University, Clayton. She will stay with a host-family while attending the Melbourne school. Grace applied for the position independently after reading about the Exchange program. Gippsland Grammar principal Leisa Harper congratulated Grace on her achievement and acknowledged her love of learning.
