Our Upper Sixth Geography pupils have been delving into the fascinating world of seismic hazards. They learnt that preparation and prevention are absolutely paramount for countries to manage these challenges effectively. In a delightful twist, our future sustainable engineers took on the incredible task of constructing shock-proof buildings using—believe it or not—pasta and marshmallows! The results were quite impressive, with their creations standing strong against a simulated earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter scale. They certainly did a smashing job and showcased their innovative thinking! Well done to all our budding engineers!
