The Scholars Guild – The Intersection of Personal Interest and Academic Research

During Term 3, the inaugural Scholars Guild Sprint was held in the Bain Library at Kambala. This gathering of aspiring Year 10 student researchers from both Kambala and Scots College came together to devise and refine their research questions. It was an honour to be able to attend and see Kambala students lead and work effectively with their Scots peers.

The Scholars Guild is a semester-long program where students work in small groups to develop a research question, conduct research, and eventually present their findings. The launch was held at Scots, but the first sprint, hosted by Kambala, focused on refining questions related to geopolitical, gender, and environmental topics. Students also undertook some initial research and explored different types of data they could use, including qualitative, quantitative, and more.

This collaboration is another wonderful example of Kambala students making the most of their academic opportunities.
