The Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS) presented the Physical Sciences Convention. This convention, which is presented by another university every year, was attended by 109 Grade 11 and Grade 12 learners and 29 teachers from across the Free State.

Learners were invited to attend the convention on the grounds of their achievements in the annual Science Olympiad or projects entered by them.

Amongst others, the learners were treated to a Chemagic show. They also participated in Physics and Chemistry activities.

A dinner was held during which the prizes for the best project proposals and the best achievements in the Science Olympiad were handed over. Two Deans’ bursaries were awarded to the top learners in Grade 11 and Grade 12 respectively.
