SETA would like to congratulate Sarah Cates and Cheryl Tsan in being the winners of the MTA (Modern Teaching Aids) sponsorship of $1000 each towards the cost of attending CONASTA70 in Adelaide in 2023.

I was extremely privileged to be given the opportunity to attend CONASTA 69 and sincerely extend my thanks to MTA and SETA, for the competition which they sponsor, to assist Science Technicians in making the trip.

Science technicians are integral to their department. ‘Effective technician support comes in a variety of forms,’ states a recent report on the reduced technician workforce by the National Foundation for Education Research (NFER). commissioned by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

School laboratories are places where constant change and the evolution of technology and new understandings of the natural world transform student learning. 

The Gratnells International Science Technician of the Year Award 2020 has been awarded to Olivia Frost of Caloundra State High School.

SETA is proud to announce the two winners of the Modern Teaching Aids sponsored competition. 

SETA are proud to announce that MTA have donated $2000 in sponsorship money for 2 lucky winners to attend CONASTA 69.

STARweek is an opportunity for schools to appreciate and recognise the professional support, invaluable knowledge and experience that science technicians contribute to your school.

SETA are proud to announce that MTA have donated $2000 in sponsorship money for 2 lucky winners to attend CONASTA 2020.
