Represented by Prisca and Agyeiwaa, Wesley Girls High School faced tough competition from Archbishop Porter Girls’ SHS and Ghanata SHS, who were equally determined to excel.

The competition commenced with all three schools correctly answering their initial questions in the first round. However, as the second set of questions challenged the teams, none were able to provide the correct answers.

Wesley Girls, a strong contender for this year’s title, showcased exceptional performance during the competition.

In the second round, they executed a substitution, replacing Prisca with Zakia, which initially led to a protest. The issue was resolved in favor of Wesley Girls, providing them with an advantage in the contest.

Round Two witnessed Wesley Girls, affectionately known as Gey Hey, maintaining their dominance. They continued to outshine their competitors, displaying their academic prowess.

During the third round, Ghanata SHS saw Emmanuel replacing Richmond. The Problem of the Day question revolved around mathematics, with Wesley Girls SHS and Archbishop Porters each earning a point. Ghanata SHS secured 5 points, but none of the teams reached the overall prize threshold.

As the contest concluded, Wesley Girls emerged as the victors, securing a place in the Quarter-final Stage with a remarkable score of 54 points. Archbishop Porter Girls’ SHS achieved 24 points, and Ghanata SHS scored 25 points.

For answering three out of four riddles correctly, Ghanata received the Goil Riddle Bonanza award worth One Thousand, Two Hundred Ghana Cedis.
