On 5th February the Science Club visited the Catalyst Museum to attend a lecture given by Professor John Kilcoyne. This involved plenty of fizzes, bangs and explosions.
It was a spectacular lecture and all pupils met the professor and were given signed autographs. Whilst at the Catalyst Museum they also had the opportunity to watch and take part in an interactive film on the work of the chemical industry. Pupils had to make decisions for the chemical engineers and other scientists involved in the chemical processes.

Red Rose Media is a professional film and media production company based within the school. The aim of the company is to facilitate access to media across the curriculum for all of our pupils and staff. In 2007 Penketh High School and Red Rose Media produced the world's first ever high school feature film Days. The film was featured nationally by BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & The Times before a successful public release at Warrington's Odeon Cinema. The project raised the profile of the school across the country and Penketh High School is now regarded as one of the leading media schools in the UK.
