Grade 12 Psychology A Level students are studying the topic of Schizophrenia and looked at the different treatments available. The students made some antipsychotic medicine boxes. Antipsychotic medications are a common form of treatment for schizophrenia, and they work by reducing the severity of symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking. These medications are classified into two main categories: typical and atypical antipsychotics.

Our Grade 11 and 12 Geography students had an exciting field trip to Al Mouj and Muttrah to examine sea defences with Mr. Joe. The evaluation of sea defences at Muttrah and Al Mouj Beach is an important aspect of coastal management, as these defences play a crucial role in protecting infrastructure and communities from the impacts of coastal erosion and flooding. The effectiveness of these defences can be evaluated based on factors such as their ability to withstand extreme weather events, their cost-effectiveness, and their impact on the local environment

Students were able to evaluate the effectiveness of sea defences at both sites, which can be attributed to a combination of design considerations, such as materials used and their suitability to local conditions, as well as ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure they remain effective over time.

The Science Department held a riddle competition and two Grade 6 students managed to successfully solve the riddle. Well done to Rania Hassnaoui and Logein Soliman! The riddle they solved was:

'You will find me in Mercury, Earth, Mars and Jupiter, but not in Venus or Neptune What am I?'

The Science Department looks forward to seeing who wins next time!
