My thanks go out to all students who participated, and to our dedicated Geography teachers who helped to facilitate the competition – Mr Bird, Mrs Doblin, Mr Smith and Mrs Woodcock. I know all our teachers are looking forward to 2022 and the return of the many practical learning activities that make Geography such an interesting and vital subject.
