Student Registration
All Grade 10-12 students are eligible to participate in the Gairdner High School event. Registration is required.
Before registering you will need to:
- Find a sponsor teacher. Students interested in attending the Gairdner High School Symposium require a teacher to sponsor their registration. Your sponsor teacher should be someone who knows you, your personal learning style and could verify you’d be the ideal participant for this one-day extracurricular activity. A personal reference is not required and the sponsor teacher is not required to attend the event. The organizing team will reach out to the sponsor teacher directly if we have concerns regarding your registration or attendance.
- Prepare a personal statement. In 150 words or less, you will be asked to answer the following questions: Why are you interested in attending the Gairdner High School Symposium? What do you hope to gain from participating?
- Determine how you would like to participate. You may only select one method of participation. Each student may only register once.
