Crawford science whiz-kid to compete in world Olympiad

Tomer came first in the country in the recent final-round examination, which was based on first- and second-year university-level chemistry.

Dr Denise Hudson-Lamb, senior Physical Science teacher at Crawford College Sandton, praised Tomer with these words: “TheUS author Robert Collier said: ‘Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.’ This quote sums up Tomer beautifully. A conscientious student, he works at his science every day. All his daily efforts have paid off and he has achieved success at the highest level.”
