Scholars’ Program 2014
Friday 5 December, 2014
The Pymble Scholars’ Program provides an opportunity for academically talented students in Years 8, 9 and 10 to work beyond the curriculum in researching a topic of their own choice.
There were a wide range of topics explored in this year’s program including:
- Medical conditions
- Nanotechnology
- Genetics and human enhancement
- Conventions of war
- Fairytales and mythologies
- Ethics
- Music and sport
- Personalities and emotions
The scholars were guided by a mentor to research their topic and produce an original creative work inspired by their findings. These have been presented in the form of websites, digital presentations, short films, graphic novels, poetry and musical compositions.

A number of Year 8 scholars who have been involved in the program since 2010 received high awards at the Secondary School Speech Night held on Tuesday 2 December 2014.
