In April, Year 8 student Florentina was invited by the Argentine Polo Association to play in a tournament for ages 13-16. Florentina was one of six members from England who flew to Argentina to join 60 young people from around the world!

Each team member stayed with a host family for the duration of their visit. The polo tournament was held at Campo Argentino del Polo, popularly known as The Cathedral of Polo. It was a long four days of matches before the final, and Florentina even got to play on the second best polo pitch in the world, which she described as “amazing!”

“It was such an incredible experience and I would love to be able to do it again!” she said.
