Outreach 2

Recently Geoff McNamara featured on the front page of the Canberra Times having raised enough money to build a telescope on Mount Stromlo for secondary students; so it is always a pleasure when the year 10 ACE science class visit RSPE. The day was divided into Physics north and south and this year had added drama as the Nuclear Physics fire alarm went off!

"Tolerance does not mean indifference or a grudging acceptance of others. It is a way of life based on mutual understanding and respect for others, and on the belief that global diversity is to be embraced, not feared." UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
