The Jersey edition of the de Putron Challenge took place this week at The Royal Jersey Showground.

It was the second of the challenges to be completed, with the inter-island final taking place on the 1 April.

The de Putron Challenge aims to showcase the brightest young minds in Guernsey and Jersey. The Challenge brings together year six and year eight pupils to test their general knowledge, maths and creative thinking skills.

Victoria College emerged victorious in the year six competition with 7 points. Rouge Boullion came in second place, only 2 points behind.

The other schools that made it through the heats to the final were FCJ Primary School, Trinity Primary School, St Mary’s Primary School and St Peter’s Primary School.

After closely contested rounds in the two year eight heats, St Michael’s Preparatory School, Haute Vallee School, Les Quennevais and Victoria College came out on top. In the final, it was a closely contested round between all, with defending champions St Michael’s Preparatory winning for the second time running with 15 points and Victoria College coming second with 13 points.

Every student that took part received a book voucher, and the teams that came first and second place took away money for their schools. Victoria College and St Michael’s Preparatory School will be going on to compete against Melrose and Blanchelande, the winning Guernsey teams at the inter-island final, which will be held in Guernsey at Les Cotils on Tuesday 1 April, with the winning Jersey schools travelling over to meet their Guernsey counterparts.

Hayley de Putron, a trustee of the Ana Leaf Foundation and founder of the de Putron Challenge, said: “Congratulations to Victoria College and St Michael’s Preparatory School for winning the challenges in their respective year groups. Every year I am astounded by the depth of knowledge displayed by our young islanders, and I’m pleased to say that every team gave their all yesterday in what was a close-knit and enjoyable day.”
