Let's go through this systematically.

Physics (IPhO team): 2 chinese students, one half chinese student, two white students. One Korean, one filipino and one bangladeshi additionally on the APhO team.

Biology: 3 Chinese students, one white student.

Chemistry: 3 Chinese students, one white student.

I just realised that the 7/8 who you were mentioning WERE the NSW kids - they were filmed for Chinese TV, so that's probably how you got that impression. Those 8 are all from NSW, and there are 5 from Victoria. Strangely enough, the 5 Victorians are mainly white and female...

Physics was the most popular science! What nationality were the 'white students'? I would guess they were either European, maybe Russian or from ex-soviet states (I have two friends -one is Ukranian (I.e. born in Ukraine) and the other is Russian (I.e. Born in Russia)- who's parents are physicists, well my Russian friend's mum is a mathematician).

The white students are all of mixed Western European backgrounds, to my knowledge. I know I am...

I guess I am a mixture too. I have one grandfather from Hungary, one from the Netherlands, a grandmother who was born in Australia and her parents were from Scotland and one who was born in Australia.

But in the past most physicists were either German, English, French, etc. The only physicist I have heard about who was Hungarian was someone involved in the Manhattan project. :S

The majority of schools do sit the NQEs, but few schools are actually represented in the teams. It's pretty much a Mac.Rob/MHS/Ruse/Sydney Grammar thing this year.

Two of the girls from the Physics team were on 'The Circle' this morning for a sciency segment. Didn't catch their names though - was one of them you appianway?
