Loreto Kirribilli Mock Trial Team

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I acknowledge that the Loreto Kirribilli Mock Trial Team won the grand final of the 2019 NSW Mock Trial competition. I congratulate the winning team of Alexandra Butt, Amelia Quinlan, Cordella O'Loughlin, Jenna Colins, Lucinda Singhi, Meg Lonie, Charlotte Ross, and Zoe Graham who were successful in defeating a highly competitive field made up of 164 schools. In the grand final in November of last year, the team went up against Redlands at the University of Sydney's Law Faculty Moot Court, with the Loreto team acting as the prosecution in the case of alleged negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm. Throughout the year the team practiced for hours every week, often going into school on pupil free days and during their school holidays. Congratulations to all the girls on the team for the amount of hard work and dedication that they put in throughout 2019, under the guidance of Mr Bain and Ms Pearson, to make it to the grand final and ultimately win. Your passion, skill and tenacity shone through to beat some of the toughest mock trial teams in the state.
