NSMQ2019: Tepa SHS wins ‘Most Impressive’ school award
Their teachers also won the Jacob and Elizabeth Bamfo Memorial Awards for the Most Impressive School throughout the competition.
Tepa SHS in the Ashanti Region reached the semifinals of the competition after an impressive showing from the beginning of the competition.
They were unable to progress to the finals after St. Peter’s Senior High beat them and Wesley Girls’ Senior high School in Cape Coast in the semifinals.
At the end of the final contest on Thursday, 11 July 2019, St. Augustine’s College, Cape Coast, Central Region, won.
St. Augustine’s College nudged off five-time champions Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon and defending champions St. Peter’s Senior High School, Kwahu Nkwatia, Eastern Region.
St. Augustine’s College led in all the five rounds and ended with 39 points with Presec bagging 34 points and St. Peter’s managing 25.
“At end of the fifth round, here are the final scores: St. Peter’s had 25 points, Presec, Legon had 34 and St. Augustine’s College had 39 points,” quiz mistress Dr Elsie Kuaffmann announced at the National Theatre in Accra.
She added: “As far as I am concerned, you are all champions but I have to make some distinctions. St. Peter’s, you have done very well, congratulations but today was tough, the Egyptians were too strong for you. Never mind you have eared GHS1,500 GCB Bank money zone.
“Presec, Legon, congrats as well, you have done very well but the opposition was great for you. Nonetheless, you have earned GHS2,000 in the GCB Bank money zone.
“St. Augustine’s College, congrats on winning the contest, you did it. You have earned GHS 2,340.”
At a point in the competition, Dr Kauffmann had to remind the representatives of Presec to take their time to answer the questions, as they were getting answers that ordinarily, a Presecan would have scored, wrong.
“Patience is sometimes a virtue,” she advised the Presecans.
