The European Finals of the HIPPO Contest, held from 17 to 20 May in Lido di Jesolo, Italy, brought together around 715 participants from 18 countries.
For our pupils, this was a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, enjoy the Adriatic coast, ride the Ferris wheel, taste Italian specialties, and take a boat trip to Venice.
My pupils achieved remarkable success:
- Stefan Zekonja, II3 – scored 32 points in the Little Hippo category, just 6 points behind the first-placed girl from Bulgaria
- Nađa Mandić, VI1 – placed in the top 20 in the Hippo 2 category
- Nikola Tomić, VIII2 – ranked in the top 10 in the Hippo 3 category
The award and medal ceremony was held at the Palazzo del Turismo on 19 May.
