Congratulations to Year 13 student Bailey Lissington on his selection for a two-week programme at the Harry Messel International Science School (ISS) based at the University of Sydney.
140 top science students will gather from Australia, China, Japan, India, New Zealand, Thailand, the USA and the UK, for a residential programme of talks by world-renowned scientists, laboratory tours and hands-on activities, along with social events like the Sydney Harbour cruise and a talent quest.
Selection for the programme focussed not only on academic achievements of the students, but their leadership and mentoring roles within the school setting.
This is a deserved award following Bailey's success as a finalist in the national young inventors' competition in October 2018 when he created a water use management system.
Administered by the Royal Society Te Apārangi and funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, the award will fund 60 per cent of each student's travel and registration costs.
