We shape a generation that will change our world for the better. This time, the English Department has organised an exciting Dragons' Den event for Year 9 students.
All Year 9 students spent the day collaboratively creating a sales pitch which they then delivered to a group of external business experts. This event enabled students to develop their skills in teamwork, creativity and provided them with the opportunity to communicate their ideas in a professional environment.
Therefore, we required Year 9 students to come to school dressed in smart, business attire. They aimed to present themselves in a way that potential 'investors' view them as credible, mature and trustworthy young people.
Students also had the option to bring in their own art resources that could be used to create a handwritten resource/drawing for their sales pitch.
The Max Box Project was an excellent opportunity for Year 9 students to engage in a hands-on task that not only reinforced their understanding of mathematical concepts such as volume, nets, and algebraic modeling but also promoted critical meta-cognitive skills. The task, which involved determining the maximum volume of an open box made from a 20 cm x 20 cm square, required students to think deeply, plan, reflect, and adjust their approach as they progressed. This end-of-unit project encouraged self-awareness of their learning processes while fostering essential problem-solving skills.
The Secretariat of The British School Model United Nations is delighted to officially invite you to the 14th edition of the conference, which will take place from 7-9th March 2025.
