Preparing for the Final Showcase: SGP Continues Work with Year 8 Students

Stephen George + Partners (SGP) and Veronica Heaven of The Heaven Company returned to Oulton Academy to deliver another lively and engaging session with Year 8 students.

This session continued to build on the strong foundation laid in previous workshops. With a focus on model making and devising the final pitch from each group to outline their learnings, students spent time refining their concepts and preparing their presentations in anticipation of the final session next week. During that session, they’ll be adding the final touches to their models before presenting their ideas to a wider audience. For many, this will be their first time presenting in such a formal setting, marking a significant and memorable milestone in their learning journey.

Throughout the session, Lyndon and Veronica also considered the key qualities and skills that will be celebrated at next week’s presentation. Broad categories have now been agreed, and final decisions around awards for ‘Best Presentation’ and ‘Best Pitch’ will be made once all student presentations have been delivered.

This practical, hands-on workshop builds on earlier sessions that introduced students to principles of masterplanning, layout, sustainability and interiors – all part of the wider SGP + You initiative, designed to introduce young minds to the many facets of architecture and design.
