YOUNGSTERS from Hindley's Mornington High performed well in a heat of the 13th annual BT Kiedler Challenge.

The endeavour is an outdoor problem-solving competition for teams of eight teenagers, four with disabilities.

All the teams completed five activities on a communications theme at the day-long heat in North Manchester.

Activities included navigation, a rope maze and an exercise based on plant photosynthesis.

Other teams competing were from Standish, Preston, Formby and Manchester.

Each school was judged on its initiative, ability to work as a team and the active involvement of all members.

Wentworth High (Manchester) won to reach the semi-finals.
