Parkes Que Club Inc is proud to announce the inclusion of Leah van der Merwe to the program for their IWD Luncheon on Sunday 8 March. In 2025, Red Bend student Leah van der Merwe, was selected from over 2,500 applicants across 120 countries to attend the CERN-Solvay Student Camp in Geneva, Switzerland, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Leah was the only Australian student chosen for this prestigious international science camp, where she joined other bright young scientists from around the world to learn about particle physics and cutting-edge research.
Leah said she believes “Nothing is impossible unless you let it be.”
The club were also excited to receive a grant from Parkes Shire Council Community Events Funding program. “This grant will be a great boost helping us to fund the IWD Luncheon, in particular paying for the guest speakers, and the senior representatives from the three high schools,” said Lynn Rodgers of the Parkes Cue Club.
