Congratulations to our Young Scientists and their mentors on their great achievements at YSE 2015. The students were marvellous ambassadors for the school throughout the exhibition. Great credit is due to the teachers who supervised the projects, provided superb support, coached the students for the judging and cared for them 24/7 over the four days. Well done to all students who submitted a proposal or a project.
