Welcome to the Australian Government Science Summer School’s website and to the actual event to be held at Flinders University in Adelaide from 7th to 16th January 2008. The Summer School brings together 200 teachers from across all states and territories of Australia, across all education systems and across primary, middle and secondary schools. The final list of teachers to attend the Summer School have been identified by DEST and offered a place.

The Summer School will bring these teachers into an environment where sharing of ideas, resources, strategies will take place through keynote addresses by leading researchers and practitioners, workshops, and tutorials in which participants will have the opportunity to discuss reflect and challenge.

The team that has put together the Summer School is looking forward to the opportunity to present a challenging and exciting program. This website is the start of that experience and will remain a close part of the Summer School long after the events of January are over.

We hope you enjoy the website and the Summer School.
