Four pupils from Plymouth College have reached the final of the national Student Investor Challenge. This is the fifth year running a Plymouth College team has reached this stage of the competition, which was won by the school in 2004.
Having won the South West of England and South Wales competition, ‘Credit Crunch Crushers’ – William Tyrell-Moore, Edward Yeung, Edwards Day and Anthony Comyn – will take part in the national final on 29th April. Here they will compete for £2000 prize money for the school and an all-expenses paid educational trip to New York.
