Nominate a student to see the aurora australis

How amazing would it be to see the aurora australis?
St Kevin's College students have been invited to enter a competition to see the aurora australias.
The competition is being run by astrophotographer, Damien McNamara, who is looking for two students to accompany him on a flight over the Antarctic in April 2019.
The once-in-a-lifetime experience is part of the Flight to the Lights trip, organised by Otago Museum director and former Nasa Space Telescope Science Institute public outreach head Ian Griffin. McNamara was part of the first trip in 2017 and is again seeking nominations for Waitaki District students in Year 11 to 13 who are interested in Art, Science or Photography and would like to come along for the experience.
Students must be nominated by a parent and a teacher and be comfortable travelling on a long-haul flight. Travel to and from Christchurch and accommodation is not included.
Nominations are to be sent to altitude.surveying@gmail.com by September.
