Year 9 extend learning through Higher Project
22 June 2018
In Year 9 girls are offered the opportunity to take part in the Higher Project. This allows girls to discover the joys of independent learning, take responsibility for their own study and develop new life and study skills. This work prepares them well for the challenges of the GCSE course in Year 10.
This year the girls have explored a diverse range of topics, choosing challenging, lively and topical issues to explore. The girls have done a fantastic job and this week presented their projects and conclusions to Dr Weeks, Mrs Coley, Mrs Rees and Miss Rance this week. We congratulate the following girls for their hard work this year:
Omala Abras: Discuss the impact of India’s partition in Jummu and Kashmir and consider the lasting consequences.
Zahra Alam: Evaluate the key features of horror films and analyse the effects on the human mind.
