Rotary Club of Narrabri

It was a pleasure at last night's meeting to welcome back our National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) participants, Ms Georgia Goodhew and Mr Angus Taylor.

The NYSF is for students entering Year 12 who are interested in the STEM subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

This life and career changing 12-day program founded by Rotary is now in its 36th year and has seen many young people go on to pursue incredible careers in this area.

Georgia, who is keen to pursue a surgical pathology career, attended the medical program at the Australian National University in Canberra while Angus, who had previously thought he wanted to be an Engineer, soon discovered at the University of Queensland that it is Optometry that completely captured his interest.

Both Angus and Georgia agreed that the NYSF was not only an incredible experience in every respect, it also enabled them to make an informed decision about their chosen career direction.

'It gave you the information and knowledge you need to make the right choice about your future direction.'

Angus agreed, adding 'I couldn't recommend NYSF enough to other students interested in a career in the STEM area. It was awesome.' ... See MoreSee Less
