The QLD Junior Physics Olympiad (known to the participants as JPhO) is an annual winter school holiday event at the University of Queensland, this year running in the week of 29 June – 3 July, for year 10 students with an interest in science and mathematics.
Knowing people who have participated, and as a parent, I can say it’s an absolutely awesome program. I am specifically telling you this now because there appear to be one or two student places still available for this year’s Olympiad!
So, if you’re a parent or teacher of a year 10 student who has an interest in physics, rush to the link and get things sorted with the organisers! You want to be really quick and convincing as officially the closing date for applications was May 1st and the Olympiad is definitely going ahead anyway.
The program reduces my planning time as I only have to plan and research for one integrated unit.
