  • Submitted by: Tess White, North East Scotland, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 28 February 2025
  • Motion reference: S6M-16649

That the Parliament congratulates the pupils of Brechin High School who competed in the Digital Schoolhouse Splatoon 3 Tournament, which, it understands, was the first ever esports tournament held in Scotland; notes that esports, or electronic sports, feature competitive video gaming, with individuals or teams playing against each other online, and with events held both regionally and internationally; understands that the Digital Schoolhouse Splatoon 3 Tournament is the UK’s largest school esports event, and helps young people grow in meta-skills such as resilience, self-confidence, problem solving and creative thinking, all while socialising; recognises that the Digital Schoolhouse Splatoon 3 Tournament has been running for eight years across England and Northern Ireland, but held 2025’s regional qualifier in Glasgow for the first time, and wishes all the schools competing the very best of luck.
