Young Geographer of the Year

Year 7 and 8 students were invited to enter the Royal Geographical Society’s Young Geographer of the Year competition. The theme for the competition was ‘Understanding Islands’. It is estimated that our planet contains almost 670,000 islands, many of them uninhabited. The competition invited students to research a number of these islands and present their findings in a poster. The Geography department were impressed with the standard of entries, which included posters about Easter and Christmas islands, Bora Bora, the Maldives and Yesterday and Tomorrow islands. The winning entry in school came from Jacob (Year 7) who won a £15 Amazon voucher and his entry, along with entries from Szianne, Ronan, Edith, Sophie and Maria, was submitted to the judging panel for the national competition. Well done to everyone involved!
