Junior Sixth Form students Clare Bernstein, Sona Mehta and Catherine Moshkun took part in the North West round of the Royal Society of Chemistry Schools’ Analyst Competition at the University of Manchester.

MHSG joined 24 teams from schools across the region who undertook a series of practical based challenges involving unfamiliar techniques and apparatus.

Dr Rose Hoban commented: “The students worked extremely well as a team and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being analytical chemists at the University laboratories!”
