Year 10 Worldwide Quiz
Back in December, four of the Year 10 Geography
students took part in the Hampshire World Wide
Quiz. It was an incredibly hard quiz but the boys
rose to the occasion and ended up coming a
respectable 5th out of 9 schools from across
Hampshire. See how you would fare...
Below are three of the hardest questions the boys
had to face:
1 - How many school meals are served per day
across 550 schools?
2 - How many miles of road does Hampshire have?
3 - Roughly how many million cruise passengers
per year have Southampton as their preferred
choice of port for cruise holidays?
RE - In The News
A fascinating opportunity arose at Winchester University this half term for our Year 10 students!
Students had the appealing chance to experience life as university students, where they attended a
variety of different lectures on subjects ranging from ‘Morality’ to ‘the meaning of Religious Art’. Joined
by Mr Spencer and Mr Pine, the school even won the quiz at the end of the day and beat the other
schools that were attending the event! Well done to all those who attended. It was a fantastic day out
that the RE department is keen to repeat in the future!
Gunwharf Quays Trip
On Thursday 2nd March the Year 10 Geography
students went to Gunwharf Quays in
Portsmouth as part of their GCSE course. The
students were looking at whether Gunwharf
Quays had any influence over the immediate
area. The students collected some thorough
data and have since devised some very
insightful conclusions about the influence
a shopping centre can have on people. The
students also very much enjoyed the shopping!
