No Apologies for today’s meeting. Guests included:

  • Honorary Member Simon Brewer
  • NYSF 2019 attendees Carla Ceravolo and Jacinta Fedele from Mary McKillop College NYSF 2010
  • NYSF alumni Alexis Gerassimou now working on a PhD thesis in Biochemistry
  • City of Campbelltown Councillors Johanna McLuskey and John Flynn

Many of us can recall enthusiastic high school student Alexis Gerassimou’s presentation to the club when she was a NYSF attendee. Alexis (on the right) is seen here with fellow NYSF attendee Kristina in March 2011. Yes, Alexis is now 8 years older, but her beautiful smile has not changed.

Guest Speakers: Carla and Jacinta

Our Club sponsored Carla and Jacinta at this year’s NYSF (National Youth Science Forum 2019) held in the ACT. Their presentation was polished and interesting, with a seamless tag-team summary of their time in Canberra. Like so many in the past, they obviously enjoyed the whole experience and are further motivated to continue their studies in the fields of biochemistry and engineering. Well done Carla and Jacinta.


March Magill Market

Despite Stallholder numbers being down, we cleared just under $500 in profit for the club’s projects.
