F1 Harris Success
 

The Jaguar F1 Team in Schools Challenge is a competition, open to all UK based secondary schools, sixth form colleges, colleges of further education and other organised youth groups to design and manufacture CO2 powered model racing cars.

On Friday 2 December, a team from Harris joined teams from all over Scotland in the Scottish Regional Competition, held at the Sensation Science Centre.  The Harris entry was judged best overall in the 16 to 18 age group and will now go on to compete in the National finals in Birmingham.  Many more details are available by clicking on the F1 link on the title page of the Harris website.

The creativity of Dundee youngsters was celebrated at an awards ceremony and exhibition last night (17 August).  The McIntosh Patrick Awards were organised by the city council to remember distinguished Dundee artist James McIntosh Patrick and also to encourage talent for the future.

Pupils from all 10 of the city's secondary schools entered the competition which was won by a pupil from Harris Academy for his pencil and watercolour portrait entitled Self Portrait.  He received £100, plus a framed print of McIntosh Patrick's City Garden from the artist's daughter, Ann Patrick, who also acted as a judge for the competition.

The work of all 36 finalists is displayed at the coffee shop in Dundee University's Gardyne Road campus until August 22, and then in Tayside House from August 22 to September 2.
