If you are in Year 7 - 10 and would like to participate in the great opportunity, please email Mrs Bishop by Wednesday 29 May.
The Junior Science Olympiad Exam is designed to take science students in years 7 to 10 to the next level.
• Junior Science Olympiad Years 9 & 10 Wednesday 12 June 2024
• Junior Science Olympiad Years 7 & 8 Friday 14 June 2024
The exam is based on general science content (biology, chemistry and physics) and assumes students have a good knowledge of the Australian Curriculum – Science up to a Year 10 level. Some questions in the exam may also involve higher-level content (such as might be encountered by an extended Year 10 student). A range of analysis questions will also be included for which any necessary extra information is provided.
Exams are two-hours long and are completed all online. Students can only sit one exam level.
All students sitting the same exam must do so at the same time, under normal exam conditions and supervision.
Students will receive a certificate indicating their grade based on their exam performance. Students that perform exceptionally well, and are eligible, may receive invitations to future science extension programs and activities hosted by Australian Science Innovations.
All students who wish to be considered for JSO Spring School and selection on the team representing Australia at the International Junior Science Olympiad must sit our JSO Exam.
