Prep team at the Tournament of Champions

Posted: 17/11/2019

The Bromsgrove Prep team of Charissa, Ruvimbo and Edward represented the School and the United Kingdom at the Tournament of Champions (ToC) for the World Scholar's Cup, held at the Yale University between 7th - 13th November 2019 in the Junior Division. 

The team’s efforts and hard work saw them come home with seven medals in total between them. They engaged fully across all the academic, cultural and social activities which formed part of the main themes for the Scholar's Cup.

In particular, the team had an unprecedented opportunity to meet over fifty different cultures. 

What else could they have asked for but to be given a tour around Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University. This saw them acquire first-hand knowledge of University life, and the requirements and expectations of resident students. 

The scholar's scavenge, an outdoor social activity, saw teams of seventeen come together to work collaboratively to solve problems in an unknown and unfamiliar environment. Each team had an adult volunteer guide.

After a full week of hard work, the team joined the scholar's ball and enjoyed the opportunity to showcase their talents at the scholar's show.

Parents also worked in full support of all the pupils. The Prep teams’ parents also volunteered as scholar's scavenge guides and Junior Debate Adjudicators. 

Well done to Charissa, Ruvimbo and Edward on a fantastic result.
