Yesterday, 23 Year 12 chemistry students visited Lancaster University to spend a day in the chemistry department.
Students completed three practical activities in the morning, then attended a lecture in the afternoon on drug discovery and development and the use of metals as catalysts in the process.
Students had a fantastic day and have taken a lot away from the opportunity!
'Discover Your Voice’ - Public Speaking Workshop
27 Year 12 student leaders and school and house officials took part in a morning of public speaking training delivered by Alex Edwards from the English Speaking Union.
During the ‘Discover Your Voice’ workshop, the students learned the theory behind effective public speaking and then developed their public speaking skills through a range of group activities and tasks.
It was an interesting and fun morning which will help the students to carry out their roles as student leaders effectively, such as delivering assemblies and speaking at events!
