We're delighted to release our latest edition of Lux magazine, a showcase of scholarly endeavours from our Sixth Form students. This includes reports crafted as part of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which is a pivotal part of our Sixth Form curriculum.
The EPQ represents an independent undertaking in academic research, structured into three parts: a research diary or production log, an academic report or artefact, and a presentation. This qualification showcases the students' ability to analyse data, apply it judiciously, and demonstrate a profound understanding of the connections and complexities inherent in each topic.
Students undertaking their EPQ can opt to showcase their work as an artefact, rather than as a report. An example of this is demonstrated in the work of Eleanor in Year 13, who focussed her topic on the reconstruction of an anatomically accurate Psittacosaurus. This included undertaking extensive research surrounding the dinosaur's anatomy and lifestyle, creating an accurate life-sized model, and documenting the process.
Lux offers a glimpse into a handful of exemplary works produced by the Sixth Form students at Queen's, as well as some of the outstanding A-level artwork. If you would like to delve deeper into the inspiring work our students have created, you can do so by reading the online copy of our latest edition.
