All students study experimental sciences throughout the entirety of their education at Sevenoaks. The Creativity, Action and Service element of the IB Diploma programme encourages pupils to initiate projects and work collaboratively. Within this framework, a group of students now work together to produce the magazine with contributions from students across the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools.

"It has been such a good year for science at Sevenoaks, especially for Catalyst now that we’re receiving more articles than ever. It’s always astonishing to see the variety of interests that students have, no matter how old they are. I feel the title of this year’s edition really encapsulates what this magazine is about, as we can read about so many in advancements in science that are being researched by the students here, which is fascinating. I hope every one of the students involved in this magazine continue to pursue their passion for science and continue to learn much more."

"Thank you so much to everyone who helped with the graphic design this year and everyone who wrote articles, I have really enjoyed editing them. My favourite aspect of the magazine is the way people can focus on their own specific interests within science, which is why we chose a broad title, and that designing the articles presents the opportunity to overlap science and artistic creativity. I hope those who participated in its production also enjoyed these features. Have fun reading this year’s edition."
