\u00a0In 2014, New Zealand will be hosting the 25<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> International Biology Olympiad: the world\u2019s top biology educators and secondary school biology students will converge on the University of Waikato for a week of intense academic effort \u2013 but there\u2019ll also be time for making new friends, sharing ideas, and experiencing some of what New Zealand has to offer. \u201cThe lead-up to this event will involve a huge amount of work,\u2019 says NZIBO Chair Dr Angela Sharpies, \u201cand we\u2019re very keen for more teachers and academics to join the NZIBO committee and become involved with this awesome event.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On-line registration for the 2013 NZIBO programme is now open at <\/span>www.nzibo.org<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For students whose schools have never participated in NZIBO, the fee is $15 per student, while the cost for students from schools that have been involved is $30. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All Year 11 and Year 12 biology students are encouraged to enrol. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Registrations close on the 1<\/span>st<\/sup><\/span> of August and the entrance exam will be held in the fourth week of Term 3 on Wednesday August 8, 2012. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The two hour long, multi-choice exam consists of a series of questions designed to test students thinking and problem solving skills. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The NZIBO programme is an excellent opportunity for Gifted and Talented biology students. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Following the initial exam, approximately 60 students will be invited to enter the tutorial programme. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Full details of the scheme with costs can be found on the<\/span> NZIBO website<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
