On Friday 13th July, a group of SHINE students completed the final stage of their ‘Research Project’, which they have been working on for the last 12 weeks, in their spare time. The research project involved researching and writing a dissertation style essay and then presenting this to Alcester Grammar Sixth Form students.
The Sixth Form students posed questions at the end of each presentation, to further challenge our students knowledge and then chose a first and second place.
A massive congratulations to Zac George, who was awarded first place and received a £20 ‘Love to Shop’ voucher, for his project “Why is 95% of the ocean still undiscovered?”.
Also, congratulations to Ellie Fisher, who was awarded second place and received a £10 ‘Love to Shop’ voucher, for her project “Do men deserve to get paid more in sport?”.
We were so impressed with all the students commitment to learning and their desire for further challenge. All students have developed their ability to research, write and critically analyse a given area. Congratulations!
Miss Dempster
Hopefully see you all in our sixth form sometime in the future. This is an excellent initiative and we’re delighted to be invited to it.
