The Wellington Junior Science Tournament is an exciting tournament based on good science and logic. There is a great atmosphere where everyone supports each other. The unique format of science and physics tournaments means that students can get as much help from teachers and parents as they can with their investigations. How they learn isn't judged, what they've learned is scrutinised at the tournament by their peers and the expert jurors. In 2025 it is being held at Wellington High School on Monday December 1st. Problems will be announced by Monday 13th October.
