University of Tasmania Marine Discovery Competition (Years 11 and 12)
The University of Tasmania is once again proud to present Year 11 and 12 students with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a week as a marine biologist. This is our 2023 Marine Discovery Competition.
A Practical Introduction to Temperate Marine Biology is an introduction to our Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science degree. Upon completing this course, students will receive credit units towards their future University of Tasmania degree.
This is a 5-day field trip based on the picturesque Maria Island, on the Tasmanian East Coast. Led by marine ecologist, Dr Scott Bennett, students will be doing fieldwork and experiencing the sights and sounds of climate change, invasive species, pollution, debris, and the associated economic and social impacts.
Applications are open and we encourage students who are interested in marine biology to apply for this experience.
To enter, the students are to complete an online application and submit their 300-word pitch on the topic: why I wish to study the marine biology of Maria Island.
Applications will close at Midnight (AEST) on Monday 20th February 2023.
There are 24 places available, 14 of which are scholarship places. Scholarships will cover flights, accommodation, catering, local transport costs, equipment hire, tuition costs and survey gear.
The course will run from Monday 17th April– Sunday 23rd April 2023.

You can now book Careers Appointments online (Years 10-12)
Senior College students can now access the Careers Bookings Calendar and make their own appointments to meet with me. Appointments can be booked for any career-related reason: reviewing or making subject choices at school; planning post-school pathways; exploring tertiary study options; applying for part-time jobs; organising work experience… there’s lots of career stuff to talk about! Students can choose a short (15-minute) appointment for a quick check-in on a specific issue; or a long (45-minute) appointment for issues requiring more detailed exploration and discussion. As always, Parents are welcome to join careers meetings, and they can choose to do so in person here at school, or online via Zoom. You can access the booking calendar using this link.
Students: please be courteous, and check with your Teacher that it’s OK with them for you to miss all or part of a lesson before you make your booking.
