We went into this years Hong Kong Primary Schools Tournament of the Minds competition as defending champions. I am delighted to report that last weekend we defended that title by winning the Social Science section once more. The team (Sophia Openshaw, Anastasia Hale, Natasha Mather, Imogen Hamp, Aurora Corrado, Calypso Paisley, Daanyal Ebrahim and Ms Maclennan (coach) and Mrs Ainsworth (manager) were given a challenge 6 weeks ago and had to create a 10 minute presentation to the panel of judges. They also had a spontaneous challenge where they have 3 minutes to prepare a 1 minute presentation on a topic or scenario only revealed behind closed doors on the day! Out of the 15 teams they actually topped scored in this section which is a terrific effort as this is the one that all teams find the hardest.
As winners of the Social Science competition we have been invited to represent Hong Kong at the Asia/Pacific TOM tournament in Perth during the Mid Term break in October.
CONGRATULATIONS TEAM!! WELL DONE!
