They were competing against around 30 other schools, many of whom were local to the area and stood out as being some of the most professional, mature and hard-working. Our students were split into two teams and we are delighted to announce that they took the first AND second places!
The winning team, who made a virtual £50,300 from their transactions, were: Mohamed Mohamed, Mubariz Mujtaba, Grant Ndinga-Lopo, Hassan Shabaz and Edvinas Skietrys. They brought back a lovely trophy to display in school, plus each of them received a £10 book token and Manchester University sweatshirts.
The runners-up, who also amassed an impressive profit, were: Vanesa Franciscova, Hannah Hughes, Tapha Jobe, Abrar Khan and Suher Sofi.
All the students were a credit to the school and represented Manchester Academy’s finest. Their behaviour was outstanding and all of them gave their very best efforts all day.
