Micro-Tyco is a prestigious global competition where students work collaboratively to develop innovative solutions to social and environmental issues. Throughout the challenge, our students demonstrated the core Park High character virtues of Compassion, Teamwork, Curiosity, Integrity, and Resilience. Students are encouraged to show curiosity as they explore real world problems and develop meaningful ideas that can make a difference within their communities.

The challenge requires students to identify an issue that is important to them, their school or their local area. Working in groups, students demonstrate integrity, resilience and proactive thinking as they collaborate over several months on a range of business planning tasks. They research, design and develop their ideas while showing perseverance and a willingness to prepare thoroughly for each stage of the competition.

Top performing teams are invited to pitch their ideas to a global judging panel, where they receive expert feedback from leading organisations that may choose to invest in their ideas. This process builds confidence and real world entrepreneurial skills. Through collaboration with corporate partners, students gain inspiration and knowledge, helping them refine their ideas and amplify their impact.

This year, Park High School entered seven projects from students in Year 7 through to Sixth Form. One group progressed to the UK finals where they presented their project in June at the Clyde and Co Law Firm head office in London. We are delighted to share that Park High School achieved third place in the competition. The winning group has also secured sponsorship from corporate partners to support bringing their project to life within the Park High community.

We are extremely proud of every student who took part in this student leadership competition. A big well done to all those who represented Park High School at the finals and made us incredibly proud.

A special congratulations to Aarya M, Shayan P, Amber V, Anika S and Vansh S for delivering an outstanding presentation on the day and to Jia P and Stasha M for planning and coaching the team for the finals.
