SCIENCE / PHYSICS #
Annual Launch of the Physics Buddy System
Each
year the Science Department pairs up year 12 students with year 13 students which greatly
benefits both sets of students. As part of the programme the students attend a buddy brunch
every term where they take part in a challenge competition against other students. This time the challenge
was a multiple choice question relay and the winners were Kareena Suman (year 13) and Aamna Abbasi
(year 12) with Ria Kalia (year 13) and Parmveer Dhaliwal (year 12) coming a very close second.
In addition to the buddy brunches, the year 12/13 pairs get set a termly virtual buddy challenge which they
must work on together. Each pair win points after completing the challenges which are entered onto the
leader board. They get a prize after each challenge and an even bigger prize if they become the ultimate
buddy pair and the overall winners!
This popular programme provide the year 12 students with an additional resource to aid with their
understanding of Physics concepts and the year 13 students benefit the most as the year 12 buddies enable
them to refresh their memory of year 12 Physics topics. The challenges are fun and create a strong bond
between students in each pair who act as peer mentors.
Kristy Foale (Head of Physics Department)
In my opinion the buddy system challenge is a great
opportunity for both year 12 and 13 students. This
enables us to use the knowledge learnt from the
lessons and revision sessions and to participate in
fun, competitive challenges, where we learn new
things as well as improving our social and team
work skills. I think it is a great way to boost our
confidence and expertise in Physics.
Elina Gorjunova (year 12)
The quiz we took part in really gave me great energy and enthusiasm
regarding Physics, in particular, the topic of electricity.
This competition was executed very well as there was an
emphatic element of enjoyment due to its intense nature. Each
individual had a real passion for the subject, as evidenced
through their commitment to attempt to secure victory. I believe
this buddy challenge helped in boosting everyone’s confidence
and was extremely enjoyable, especially when our team won.
Aamna Abbasi (year 12)
