“The SPARQ-ed program was a one in a lifetime experience which I would definitely recommend to anyone. I learned so many new skills and had a wonderful experience at the labs. The group got a chance to experience a few minutes of a lecture from one of the Professor’s, which was mind blowing. But most of all, I got to make wonderful new friends who I still keep in touch with today.”

“The program was an invaluable experience for my son. As a distance education student they have little opportunity to work in a lab, and to engage with a team project. He learned a lot to complement their current Year 12 biology studies, but also gained confidence and greater enthusiasm for this area of research over the week. I was impressed by how much was learnt as well as the extent of experience this program provided. I would highly recommend this program for senior students, especially those considering science studies at university, and thank you to all involved in creating a wonderful and memorable week.”
