Capital’s George Watson’s College team wins Euroquiz competition

Pupils from George Watson’s College in Edinburgh battled it out at the Sottish Parliament to become Euroquiz champions.

The pupils tested their European knowledge against 28 other primary schools before coming out on top in the final round.

Euroquiz quizmaster Annabelle Ewing MSP and Deputy Presiding Officer said: “I’ve been so impressed by the knowledge of these young primary pupils. After two years it’s fantastic to welcome people back into our Debating Chamber for this special event.

“Well done to all the pupils who made the final – it was a very sought after competition. George Watson’s College did extremely well to win overall and my congratulations to them.”

Over 400 schools have been involved in competing in this year’s quiz. Following a series of heats that took place earlier this year, the winning schools took part in the final  in the Scottish Parliaments’ Debating Chamber on Monday 13 June. 

Euroquiz, which was first held in 1993, sees teams of pupils working together to broaden their knowledge of European history, geography, sport, culture, languages and the European Union.
