The school’s junior robotics team has taken first place at the National Robotics Competition, earning a place at the VEX World Championship in Texas, USA.

It is a striking achievement for a school whose story began with fourteen pupils at Regent Square in 1845 — and proof that Regentonians can compete with the best in the world in science and technology.

Part of a wider picture

The win is one of a series of recent successes for science and technology at the school, reported by our alumni brothers in North America. They include a STEM holiday club, run with partners, which drew hundreds of applications from schools across the country, and a place among Africa’s top five finalists in the 2024 World Affairs Challenge.

Why the laboratories matter

Success like this is built on hands-on learning. That is why the Improvement Committee’s Laboratory Renovation Appeal matters so much: every boy deserves the chance to experiment, build and discover.

Congratulations to the team, their coaches and their teachers.
