Congratulations to the team of 6th form Geologists who went to the Geological Society of London in Piccadilly and retained the 'National Schools Geology Challenge' title won by WCS last year. They won the regional round at Plymouth University in March to earn the right to represent the South West region in the final.
The event was in three sections; a poster and Powerpoint presentation (on their chosen topic) followed by a geological quiz. Their poster and presentation entitled 'The impact of plate tectonics on the evolution of life' went down well with the judges who were eminent geologists from the Geological Society of London. Going into the quiz it was evidently a very close contest.
The team, captained by James Voysey, answered questions about famous geologists, where in the World, name that rock, Greek mythology & geology, and the geology of Britain in securing a narrow victory.
The team featured James Voysey, Kate Ballan-Whitfield, Rupert Brown, Alex Gordon and Oliver Press.
