In October we learned that Adrian Lo (9/LE) achieved a High Distinction in the Physics Olympiad. This placed him in the top 10% of candidates.

He received a personalised letter of congratulations from Nobel Physics Laureate Professor Brian Schmidt, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Australian National University.

This was a major achievement, made all the more special when you consider that Adrian was the College’s only participant and his competition included around 1700 students from across the country, many of whom were senior physics students. This recognition capped off a fine year in science for Adrian as he had already achieved High Distinctions in the ICAS Science Competition and the Australian National Chemistry Quiz. 

Adrian will be presented his certificate at Assembly later in the Term.
