Virtual STEM enrichment program for high-ability students in Victorian state schools.
Our virtual enrichment programs are designed for high-ability Year 5/6 students from Victorian government schools that are unable to travel to our on-site programs. Priority is given to regional government primary schools before metropolitan schools.
(For Victorian government primary schools that are within travel distance of JMSS, we suggest you look at our on-site Outreach Program)

Applications must be submitted by eligible schools. Parents who wish their child to participate should speak with their school and encourage them to apply.
