Australian Science Olympiad

The Australian Science Olympiad Competition is a national extension program for top performing secondary science students which culminate in the International Science Olympiads – the Olympic Games for science students.

In order to secure a place to represent Australia at the International Science Olympiads, students in Years 10 and 11 must first sit one or more of the four Australian Science Olympiad Exams on offer in the disciplines of biology, chemistry, Earth and environmental science and physics. These two hour exams are designed to test students’ knowledge of scientific concepts, critical thinking and problem solving skills, and skills of scientific inquiry.

Based on their exam performance, top performers are offered a place at the Australian Science Olympiad Summer School, which is an intensive two-week program that provides students with the opportunity to study with like-minded peers.

The very best summer school students represent Australia at the International Science Olympiads.

This year, a number of Ivanhoe students took part in the Australian Science Olympiad exams and have recently received their results. Twelve students performed exceptionally well, with five students receiving a medal. Year 11 student Luke Rezk received a Gold Medal for his outstanding results in the Biology discipline.
