Mrs S Graves —

Congratulations to Shela Luckhurst and Sophie Bowmar (Y13) who won the final against Kings High, and also to Zoe McElrea and Sophie Davis (Y12) who took out third place in the Bronze final for the competition.

Both teams debated in all five rounds on Saturday, August 6th, in a highly competitive Impromptu Cup format against teams from all over the region, and were joined by Anise Maclean who Swing spoke. 

Sophie Bowmar was also named overall Best Speaker of the competition and Sophie Davis received a Highly Commended Award. 

Awesome work, girls!
