STEM OLYMPICS

Students from twenty-four schools joined us to take part in the STEM Olympics. Organised by Head of Physics Mr Grisedale, the competition comprised of a range of individual practical events designed to assess team work and the application of key scientific principles.

Alongside the teaching staff, sixth form students helped to coordinate the day and run the various challenges, which included rocket launches, dissection and crime scene investigations.

The level of competition was high, and the final scoring was very close but it was the students from Rydal Penrhos who took home the overall Gold Award. Mr Grisedale said: “The concept around the event is that it is primarily a fun day, but also that there is an element of challenge and competition. Thank you to all of the schools who joined us for a fantastic day of learning.”
