Sixth Form Conference in Geography attracts schools and pupils from across North Wales.

On Saturday (27^th September), Geography@¾«¶«´«Ã½ hosted their first 6^th form conference for A/S and A2 Geography students at ¾«¶«´«Ã½. 

The event was free to attend for pupils and teachers from schools and colleges, with around 40 pupils and 10 teachers coming from both English-medium and Welsh-medium schools across North Wales. 

The day was split into a series of short talks, delivered by lecturers from ¾«¶«´«Ã½, Aberystwyth and Chester universities that covered key topics in the WJEC syllabus for A-level Geography.  Pupils also got a flavour of university teaching and some great exam tips from two former A-level examiners. 

Pupils who attended commented that the talks were ‘very helpful’, ‘covered everything in the A/S course’, and that the ‘lectures were very good’.  We will be running this event next year, so if you or your school/college want to be involved next time, contact Dr Lynda Yorke (conference organiser).
