Outstanding Year 12 chemists turn lab work into gold and silver

Tatachilla Lutheran College’s high-performing Year 12 chemistry students have taken out a Gold and two Silver awards at the 2026 Royal Australian Chemical Institute’s Titration Competition.

The outstanding young scientists excelled in the school’s phase of the competition, qualifying for the state final at Adelaide University on 29 August. Our students seized the chance to work in a university laboratory where they went head-to-head with other schools and put their titration skills to the test.

Our students’ skills, experience and confidence shone through against some tough competition, with Kearni taking out a Gold Award and Tom and Nirike winning Silver. We are so proud of our winners and our chemistry cohort for their efforts, ambition and growth this year. Our chemistry students are exemplary ambassadors for our college community.

This year is the second year in a row that our senior chemistry students have made it through to the final, and we’re looking forward to competing again in 2027. Onwards and upwards!
