The results of the NZChO competition in September will be used to select the students who are invited to participate in a training group over the summer. This will extend their chemistry knowledge (up to a level suitable to help prepare students for Scholarship Chemistry). Note: If you were in the training group previously, you do not need to sit the NZChO competition again in September. You may be directly included in the training team but you must confirm this to Dr Jan Giffney by email (jan@giffney.co.nz).

Those students in the training group will be invited to participate in a selection test for a residential camp in Auckland, normally during the Term 1 school holidays. During this camp, students will participate in lectures and labs, with final exams to determine the four students who will be selected to represent New 茄子视频app官网at the annual International Chemistry Olympiad competition. However, note that the following additional criteria will apply for eligibility to attend the camp.

To be eligible to attend the camp, students must be under 20 and聽must be fully enrolled at high school prior to the IChO in July, but may do up to 2 courses at University level (excluding chemistry courses) prior to the international competition. Students must also be a NZ Citizen or permanent resident, and have attended school in NZ for at least two of the last 4 years at the time of accepting a place at the camp for the training group. Students must be at least 15 years of age at the time of the camp. No more than three students will be selected from any one school.
