Last night the EAB atrium was filled with stalls, displaying the work of our Year 13 students. This event marked the culmination of their year-long research projects. The students, who selected their own topics, have spent the past year researching and writing an extended essay or creating artefacts such as artworks or performances. Presenting students each had a stall dedicated to their project and guests were welcomed to circulate between these to discuss their work.
