2025 SEAACT Science Teacher Award
SEAACT is proud to announce that Robyn Southall has been named the recipient of the SEAACT teacher award, which is awarded to a teacher who supports their students to conduct investigations that provides a pathway to enter the science fair. In her role as the ACT Education Directorate’s coordinator of the Science Mentors Program, Robyn goes above and beyond to connect with as many local researchers who then go on to support students from Years 9-11 in public schools to conduct high quality research.
Robyn has been very committed to equity and diversity, encouraging any student who has an interest in science, to give it a try by conducting a passion project in science. Her students are thriving and enjoying the connections to scientists under her individualised support. Congratulations Robyn!
