Triumph of Determination: Our Team's Journey to Winning the High School Mock Trial Semi-Finals and Finals

On March 11th, our Senior Debate Team participated in the highly anticipated High School Mock Trial Semi-Finals and Finals, organized by Pascal Private English School Lemesos. This prestigious event was held in partnership with Frederick University Limassol and A.G. Erotocritou LLC Law firm.

 

Our exceptional team members include the brilliant minds of Lara Corkhill Y7, Lara Wilks Y7, Kyriaki Pifani Y6, Joanna Makriyianni Y6, and Kaiyane Chouldjian Y6, with Marina Panayiotou Y4 as the Juror. Their hard work and dedication, coupled with the guidance of their esteemed teachers, Ms Katerina Ralli and Ms Rosalind Scourti, paid off in a big way!

Although our team was all set to go head-to-head with The Grammar School in the semi-finals, we were pleasantly surprised to qualify automatically for the final round due to the withdrawal of our opponents. Undeterred, our team was determined to give it their all in the final round, which presented them with a new case and only three hours to prepare.

With their razor-sharp focus and unwavering determination, our team quickly immersed themselves in the challenge at hand, determined to come out on top. Their hard work and dedication paid off when they emerged victorious after a close final round. The judge commended their efforts and provided valuable feedback to help them in their future endeavours.

We are proud to announce that Lara Corkhill was awarded the 'Best Lawyer' award and invited to intern at one of the law firms sponsoring the event, an incredible recognition of her talent, hard work, and dedication.

We couldn't be prouder of our Senior Debate Team and their remarkable achievement. Their triumph is a testament to the power of hard work, focus, and determination, reminding us that we can overcome any challenge and move closer to achieving our goals.

Congratulations again to our remarkable team, and heartfelt thanks to their teachers for their unwavering support. You have made us proud!
