Geography students are ‘Worldwise’

Published: 16 December, 2010

Plymouth College pupils Jeremy Eason, Sahila Kellett and Jay Warner have won a Geography competition held at the University of Plymouth. 

The Worldwise quiz, a Geographical Association initiative, saw teams from schools across Devon and Cornwall complete mapwork challenges and answer a whole range of geography-related questions including a local area section.

The Year 9 boys, who even beat a team of teachers, were presented with their medals and trophy by Professor Iain Stewart from the University's School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences.  Beyond the University, Professor Stewart is famous for being the presenter of numerous award-winning BBC science documentaries and the author of two popular geoscience books.
