What happens when a young learner question established ideas, thinks critically and develops an original perspective? Rajvardhan received a commendation in the Science & Technology category of the John Locke Institute Junior Global Essay Prize 2026, recognising the strength and quality of his essay. This achievement highlights his intellectual curiosity, originality and ability to examine complex ideas, challenge assumptions and present a well-reasoned argument. At Sancta Maria, we value opportunities that encourage learners to think independently, express their perspectives and engage meaningfully with the world around them. Congratulations to Rajvardhan on this well-deserved recognition
