Juniors enjoying their day off whilst seniors wait for their results @Yale @HolyportCollege @scholarscup

So for the @HolyportCollege Juniors - that’s a wrap on @scholarscup 2024. No trophies this time (the standard of competition was very high)… but medals in debate and writing. With Leonie (top 4%) and Liam (top 12%). Job well done HPC

Some photos of the juniors in New York and at the competition. Currently waiting for the final results… @HolyportCollege @scholarscup

Massive congratulations to Will, Charlotte and Jonathan for not only winning their 3 debates but also therefore having an unbeaten debate run across the whole WSC debate season 9/9! @HolyportCollege @scholarscup

Whilst Juniors spent the day yesterday competing, the seniors had their day in New York and ended it with Mocktails in the Hard Rock Cafe.

Seniors had the opening ceremony, the scavenger hunt, followed by a trip to see an Ivy League College Ice Hockey Match! #wsc @HolyportCollege @scholarscup

Seniors had a day pretending to be @Yale university students and will have their opening ceremony tomorrow @scholarscup @HolyportCollege @HolyportSixth

Breakfast time at the hotel and two of our seniors have already made a junior friend from ‘Team Tanzania’ 🇹🇿! @Yale @scholarscup @HolyportCollege @HolyportSixth

We’ve made it to New York’s Penn Station but ‘The Amtrak’ is delayed by more than 2 hours… so we’re chilling in the train hall waiting for our train to New Haven… @scholarscup @HolyportCollege

And we’re all here at the airport - ready to represent the UK at the 2024 @scholarscup Tournament of Champions @Yale @HolyportSixth @HolyportCollege
