Michael Manoussakis has always had an interest in science.
The Marymede Catholic College captain particularly loves chemistry and hopes to pursue a career overseas as a chemical engineer after studying at the University of Melbourne.
And it’s highly likely the Mill Park 17-year-old will realise his dreams, with a resume that includes a study trip to Canada.
Michael was one of just 44 Australian students handpicked to represent the country at the Canada-wide Science Fair in New Brunswick.
He jetted off last Friday to talk to primary and secondary students in Canada about advancements in Australian science.
Michael said he was most excited about meeting new people and “to see what scientific ideas they’ve explored in their projects”.
