http://www.nysf.edu.au/

Congratulations to Abbey Wilson on her selection to attend the National Youth Science Forum -
Perth 2010. Abbey has kindly furnished the following statement:

My name is Abbey Wilson and I’m seventeen years old. I attend Coomera Anglican College and am very interested in science. I am currently studying Geography, Chemistry, Biology, Business as well as Maths, English and religion.

I have attended many Rotary events or have been sponsored by Rotary for example the Rotary Youth Enrichment Program, Siemens Science Experience, and I was just selected to attend the National Youth Science Forum  held in Perth 2010.

In the future, I hope to become a Geography teacher, and study Earth Science and Social Science at university.

From a young age, I have been fascinated by rocks, volcanoes and everything that makes up the earth. I also have a passion for biology, particularly plants, so I love to garden.

Colin Wilson has advised that Abbey has just been elected as House Captain for her final year at Coomera Anglican College.

Abbey is following in the footsteps of her sister, Jessie, who was sponsored to NYSF by Parkwood Rotary Club, and had an ongoing involvement over the past three years.

We are indebted to Colin Wilson for the following update concerning Jessie:
Abbey's sister Jessie, who was sponsored by Parkwood Rotary, also attended NYSF, but in Canberra in January 2007. In that same year she was chosen to travel to South Africa to attend the South African Youth Science Forum. Jessie was then chosen to become a team leader for the 2008 Canberra NYSF and then again as a co-ordinator/mentor for 2009. She has taken leave from her studies of a dual degree- Environmental Management and also Political Science at the University of Queensland and is at present in the United Kingdom.
