This year is the International Year of Astronomy (IYA09) and, in recognition of this, we have organised an Astronomy Festival (IYA09 AstroFest) for year-9 students. This event will consist of a lecture ("The Milky Way in a Different Light") given by astrophysicist Dr Gavin Rowell from the University of Adelaide. This will be followed by a number of interesting Astronomy-related activities including Q&A sessions with several university students, a discussion on an astronomy/space-related topic (such as new missions to the Moon, Mars, how to see Black holes) and telescope viewing of the Sun and planets (weather permitting). The event is limited to 120 students.

The registration cost of this event is $10 per student which includes the welcome package for the participants, recess and lunch. Please contact Maria Parappilly by August 31 ^st if your school would be interested in being involved in this event so that we can determine the number of students from each school.
