Year 14 pupils, Claire Liggett, Natalya English and Chloe Jackson investigated ‘Obedience and conformity in the Youth of today!’ and the other Year 13 team including Cathy Hanna, Katelyn Gardiner and Hannah Saul studied ‘The Matching Hypothesis in relation to physical attraction’.
All presenters received a certificate and we hope these pupils will follow in the footsteps of previous winners from Banbridge Academy who have gone on to study
Psychology at QUB, Ulster University and St Andrew’s University.
