John Monash Science School has been teaching tomorrow’s scientists for almost 15 years. It all started in 2009 when it was the first specialist science secondary school in the state of Victoria. Standing here in front of this school in Melbourne, it’s hard to miss the sleek and modern building. The school is located on the Clayton campus of Monash University. The school itself sits at the end of the Science, Technology, Research, and Innovation Precinct. John Monash Science School offers its students a unique educational experience where they can take classes in subjects like nanotechnology, astrophysics, and terraforming Mars. What’s really fascinating about the school is the NBN Virtual School of Emerging Sciences. This program, launched in 2013, brings science lectures from Monash University scientists to students all over Australia via the internet. This school is not just about science, though. It’s also a place where students learn to think critically and creatively, and develop leadership skills. John Monash Science School truly is an inspiring place, with its commitment to fostering the next generation of scientists and innovators.
