Hymers College Science Triathlon Celebrates it’s Second Year

Teams from 13 Hull, East Riding and North Lincolnshire schools attended our second Hymers College Science Triathlon recently.

This competition saw over 50 students from Year 10 complete a series of science practicals along with a written assessment. Our own Year 12 students acted as team mentors on the day.

Dr Sajida Ita, Teacher of Science at Kelvin Hall School, said: “I would like to thank Hymers College for organising the event and allowing our students to participate. It is a wonderful opportunity for students from all different schools to participate together...our students saw the level of commitment the school had and the care they experienced from all the staff and students.”

The Science Triathlon 2025 was kindly sponsored by both local and global businesses Phillips 66, Wood, Croda, Reckitt, Vuba, The John Good Group, Kalibrate and Doreen’s, without whose support this initiative would not be possible.

The competition culminated in The Celebration Ceremony where the students returned to Hymers with their families to mark their success on the day.
