In February a number of the best Year 13 biologists entered the British Biology Olympiad 2010 which is organised by the Society of Biology. The competition involves students completing a challenging 90 minute examination paper.

BIOLOGY OLYMPIAD GOLD MEDALLIST

School travel survey

Each year the school looks into travel of all members to and from school. The aim is to reduce the use of cars and encourage both public transport, cycling and walking. This year we would really like to know more about the transport choices that are made. Sutton council have provided an online survey for you to let us know why you travel to and from school the way you do. All the students will be completing a similar survey at school but could we ask parents to take 5 minutes to fill it in online and let us know what we can do to improve. Please follow this link.

Please remember to select Wilson’s School when you fill in the survey. Obviously the more responses we get the better we will be able to respond. Thank you in advance for your help.

This year we are very pleased to announce that William Perera and Cameron Smith have been ‘Commended’ for their high scores and that Tim Kasoar (above) has been awarded a Gold Medal as national recognition of his high ability in Biology. All boys are to be congratulated on their high achievement. Fortunately for the world of Biology, in different ways they all wish to pursue study of the subject.
