On Monday 11 June 2018 sixty engineers of the future were invited to participate in a STEM Day run by Small Piece Trust and funded by National Grid. Students were set the challenge of developing a water collection system that would filter and pump water effectively. Teamwork and problem solving skills were in use for the whole of the day and I am delighted to say that all students involved managed to design, create and present a fully functioning water filtration system. As a College we are proud of the on-going affiliation we have with National Grid and we would like to thank them publicly for the endless amount of opportunities that they have presented to all of the students at John Henry Newman Catholic College. On Monday 2 July, two of our Year 10 students are travelling to the National Grid Training Centre in Newark where they will complete a week long residential work experience gaining skills in a variety of engineering careers.
