10/30/2012 0 Comments Solving Problems In The FutureGreat front page photo and article in today's Daily News of our winning Future Problem Solving Team. With the support of Tina Dalliston and Robyn Wackrow we have been offering the Future Problem Solving programme for the last 2 years and we are looking to develop it as part of the curriculum in the future. The programme involves a rigorous academic exercise where students have to research, evaluate and come up with solutions to issues they are given, within a strict time frame of a few hours. The emphasis is on creativity, teamwork and "thinking outside the rhombus". Our Year 9 team pictured above have made the National Finals this weekend and are looking forward to pitting their wits against the best that the rest of the country can offer. A win would see them competing on the world stage in the USA - but that is for the future!
