- Category: News
- Created on 07 March 2016
Last month six students from our current year 11 competed in the regional finals of the Coca Cola Real Business Challenge 2016 in Manchester. They earned a place in the finals after beating thousands of other students across the North-West during a business challenge during our Enrichment program at the end of Year 10. Our students were up against nine other teams and although they didn’t come away with the win – they were very close and did tremendously well. Their job was to design, plan and market an anti-litter campaign in their local area. During a full day of competition the girls experienced working together as a team on a real business project working alongside a Coca Cola business manager
This is the first time in three years of entering the competition that students from Maghull High have made it to the finals - we are exceptionally proud of them!!!!!
The team are:
Sian Burns, Lauren Cairns, Lauren Comaish, Emma France, Jess Holding and Rebecca Ingham
Robotics day 2016
- Category: News
- Created on 24 February 2016
In February the Computer Science department were delighted to welcome staff from the University of Liverpool to deliver a session on Robotics. Groups of year 8 pupils were given the opportunity to program 'Lego Mindstorms' robots, and learnt how to control them using different motors and sensors. Everybody involved made a great effort, and the University staff were impressed that some teams managed to get their robots to sense when they were approaching a barrier and to turn around. We discussed links with real world Computer Science, such as the use of artificial intelligence in self-driving cars. Pupils were also encouraged to think about the wide range of careers that use the skills and knowledge gained by studying Computer Science and ICT.

On Friday 27th November, our Aspiration Ambassadors had the pleasure of meeting the local Labour MP Bill Esterson. The students had been researching Leeds University as part of their 'University of the Month' project and contacted Mr Esterson for an interview as he was fortunate enough to attend this university. Ella Corlett and Sadie Carney did an excellent job as interviewers and the other ambassadors showed Mr Esterson their PowerPoint presentation and noticeboard that are displayed in the foyer. We would like to thank Mr Esterson for coming into school and giving up his time for this interview. It was an enjoyable morning for all!
