To show their support for the idea, they donned green socks to mark the low-carbon theme for the events.
Alison Blacklock, from the school's sixth form department, said: "Last year's entrants made it through to the final, and it was great to see them learn and grow throughout the process. This year's entrants are keen to go one better and win the overall competition."
The Make Your Mark Challenge was a one-day enterprise competition aimed at 14 to 19-year-olds from across the country.
