Dr Sarah Pearson from the Faculty of The Sciences at the University of New
England visited TAS last week to present the cheque on behalf of the Dean of
the Faculty, who was one of the sponsors of the Armidale Challenge in June.

with local Rotary Club members in organising and conducting the Challenge at
UNE. She presented the cheque to the Principal of TAS, Mr Murray Guest.
The TAS team scored more points than the other teams (from schools in
Armidale, Uralla, Guyra, Walcha, Inverell and Tenerfield) taking part in the
day-long Armidale Challenge. It was one of 23 such events (coordinated by
the University of Newcastle) across the nation. The Super Challenge Series
will be held during National Science Week (August 14-22).
