Robotics<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n
Robotics is a sport in which learners form teams to solve real world problems by using Lego. Every year First Lego League releases a problem and set of tasks to teams all over the world. These teams would then have to find a solution to the problem and begin building and programming their robots to perform these tasks. Their robots are completely autonomous meaning that everything is preprogrammed. The students at Claremont High use Lego Mindstorm NXT 2.0 robots. So far every year Claremont High has claimed a trophy from FLL and yes, the trophies are made of Lego. The best part about robotics is not the building or the programming or the research; it's being part of multiple minds solving one problem, making sure your robot works.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Class Teacher Love<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

<\/u><\/b>As part of their extramural responsibilities, teachers have one afternoon per week dedicated to supporting learners. This may take the form of informal tutoring, pastoral care meetings, group meeting to connect with different learners in ways the classroom would normally not allow, lifts home to get to know learners' contexts and to be able to meet family members, neighbours etc.<\/p>\n

Olympiads<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n
English Olympiad<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

The English<\/span> Olympiad<\/span> is a wonderful opportunity open to all learners from grade 10 to 12, in the first term of each year. Students taking part meet for a weekly session where we dive into all things literature - poems, short stories, play extracts and so on - and discuss themes, writing styles and techniques. The olympiad<\/span> itself is a three-hour paper of creative responses to the works studied. Students who excel in this exam could be awarded prize money and\/or scholarships towards university study.<\/p>\n
