Wesley Girls’ SHS gives ‘bragging’ St. Peter’s SHS a sweet revenge in 2023 NSMQ

Wesley Girls’ Senior High School has given “bragging” St. Peter’s Senior High School a sweet ‘showdown’ in 2023 National Science and Maths Quiz contest.

Wesley Girls’ High School and St. Peter’s SHS and Louis Rutten SHS (one of the first-time private school competitors) were the first schools to compete on the last day of the Preliminary contest at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Auditorium.

Following St. Peter’s victory over Wesley Girls’ SHS in 2019 with a score of 49 points, the girls were determined to seek revenge this time around.

The girls from Wesley Girls’ High School successfully qualified for the One-eighth stage with an impressive score of 52 points against their long time rivals.

The Quiz Mistress, Mrs. Gladys Odey Schwinger, officially launched the contest at 9:15 am.

Vying for a prized position in the one-eighth stage of the National Science & Maths Quiz 2023, were Wesley Girls’ SHS, St. Peter’s SHS, and first-time participants, the private school, Louis Rutten SHS.

After Round Two ended, numerous controversies arose, compelling the Quiz Mistress, Mrs. Gladys Odey Schwinger, to revisit and rephrase some of the questions she had posed.

Protests from both St. Peter’s SHS and Wesley Girls’ SHS led to a time delay of 25 minutes. However, after contacting the consultants, Wesley Girls’ SHS was awarded three additional marks for correctly answering the protested question.

Consequently, ‘GeyHey’ took the lead in Round Two with a total of 22 points.

At the conclusion of Round Three, the Problem of the Day, St. Peter’s SHS achieved a score of 6 out of 10, whereas both Wesley Girls’ SHS and Rutten SHS scored 4 out of 10 each.

Wesley Girls’ SHS’s aspiration for revenge against St. Peter’s SHS was ultimately realized as they triumphed with an impressive 52 points, securing their qualification for the One-eighth Stage of the NSMQ 2023.
