🌿 AS Biology Students Compete at Biology in the Park 🌿
 
Today, our AS Biology students travelled to Margam Park to take part in Biology in the Park, an event organised by the University of South Wales.
 
Throughout the day, students took part in a variety of ecology-based challenges, including tree identification and pond biodiversity surveys, putting their fieldwork skills and biological knowledge into practice.
 
We’re delighted to share that one of our teams achieved an excellent 3rd place finish! 🥉
 
Well done to all of the students who took part and represented The College Merthyr Tydfil so well. We’re proud of your hard work and enthusiasm throughout the day.
