🏆 We are so happy to announce the WiTWA Tech [+] Award for the category: STEM / STEAM / Digital Education in Schools!

Rising Star Winner - Dr Roslyn London

Roslyn started her role as STEM Co-ordinator in 2023 teaching her one and only Digital Technology class in 2021, moving into teaching STEM later that same year. After joining Balga Senior High School during its infancy of engaging in STEM education, she assumed the lead in 2023 and played a pivotal role in implementing Balga’s STEM strategy. Her capacity to adapt programs to meet the needs of students, and maximise engagement has been reflected by the maintenance of over 70% attendance and enrolment in our after school STEM club. She believes equipping students with the tools to critically evaluate information and construct their own knowledge is paramount in today's rapidly evolving world. She is an advocate for educational equity, which is rooted in her own academic journey, where she recognised the necessity of independent learning to achieve success.

Congratulations Dr Roslyn London!
