This year’s Adventure Awards showed a more academic and intellectual focus than has been seen for some years. The ideas were inspiring and often quite quirky. In total, 40 pupils from 12 groups made it through to the final stages in the selection process.
Six winners were chosen, ranging from a physically and technically demanding trip to the Dolomites, to a politically-inspired journey through London.
The most interesting trip was that organised by Stefan Rogers-Coltman (Sc), George Birks (Sc), and Callum Rough (Sc), who are planning to visit the science museums and centres of Amsterdam by bike. They spoke passionately about immersing themselves in the world of science and outlined in great detail what they hoped to gain from the experience.
All the presentations were impressive, both in their organisation, and the ambition of the pupils. It was encouraging to see so much enthusiasm for making the links between subjects studied at school and interests that will be pursued at university.
