HSC Biology Excursion to Canberra Hospital and Mortuary

On Tuesday 21 May the HSC Biology class undertook an excursion to the Canberra Hospital to further their knowledge and witness the application of their coursework in disease.

Our students were treated to a presentation on the control of infectious disease by Dr Karina Kennedy, a tour of the mortuary and the opportunity to examine specimens in the ACT Pathology Museum.

This unique and valuable experience was greatly appreciated by the staff and students, and we extend our sincere thanks to Dr Kennedy (Director of Microbiology) and our hosts for the day, Jess Puniard (Mortuary Supervisor) and Belinda Brooker (Mortuary Assistant).
