The Year 9 / 10 Careers in Science Camp is held annually. In 2011 the camp was held from the 14th to 17th of June
Students met scientists found out about career opportunities, used technology and learnt about South Australian science. It was a real world science experience!
Students spent 4 days with 20 like minded people exploring science in the primary industries sector. Students visited industry and research organisations in the Riverland, Mallee, Adelaide, the southern region and the Adelaide Plains. There was a morning at Flinders University and the SA Food Centre.
