To win over station managers at <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3TOM FM<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, they had to pitch and perform three 2-minute teaser episodes live &#8211; complete with sound effects, three main characters, and a seamless narrative arc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Social Sciences:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Teams had to resolve a heated student council debate over a charity t-shirt fundraiser. They were required to map out a complete strategy to source, design, produce, and sell limited-edition shirts &#8211; balancing the drive to maximize charitable revenue against the complex economic, environmental, and ethical concern of fast fashion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are incredibly proud of our students for representing our school with such ingenuity,
