Ella Rooney and Madeleine Reid of Year 12 were accepted into the Rotary Science and Technology Forum, to be held at Auckland University January 2018. 

They will spend two weeks on campus attending lectures, completing special projects and visiting research institutes around Auckland. This is an awesome opportunity for Ella and Madeleine to investigate future careers, consider their options for further study and to be inspired by advances in science and technology. We wish them the best of luck in what will be an awesome experience. Many thanks to Dunedin Central Rotary Club for selecting the girls and providing funding assistance for them to attend the Forum.
