This June saw Year 9 pupils all participating in another successful  three day Environment Challenge. The event involves the year group working in teams to study a hot environmental topic and, together, create a newspaper. Each team argues either for or against Wind Power, Nuclear Power, Biofuels or Peak Oil. The event culminates with a heated debate as each team strives to persuade the rest of the year group to vote in their favour.
