Singapore science winner

East Otago High School pupil Nicole McLeod has been selected to fuel her passion for science at an international science camp in Singapore.

Nicole (16) a year 12 pupil, is one of four from this country chosen by the Royal Society of New Zealand to attend the Singapore International Science Camp from 30 May to 3 June.

"Nicole is a highly conscientious and motivated student,'' school principal Lennox Sharp said. She gained an overall excellence award in NCEA level one last year and is studying physics, chemistry and biology this year, with a view to studying pathology at the University of Otago.
