Year 9 Achieve Great Success at the Haven Seaport Exercise

Yesterday (6 October), the school achieved great success at the Haven Seaport Exercise at Harwich International Port in which twelve Year 9 students attended.

Ten out of the twelve students won top prizes (see below)! Students spent the whole day participating in a disaster management role-play in which all students worked in groups with help from port officials, the emergency services, and captains of ships (who decided upon the winners).

They were the only Year 9 present out of approximately 140 students from various local schools who were all Year 10. There were three main categories of prizes - one for group presentations, one for question answering and problem solving, and then prizes for individual effort.
