Kids’ Lit Quiz – Teams place 2nd and 3rd

Eight girls (seven from Year 7 and one from Year 8) competed in the Kids’ Lit Quiz at St Ursula’s, Kingsgrove, on Monday 7 April. The Kids’ Lit Quiz is a local, national and international competition to promote reading run in Australia by Kids’ Lit Quiz Australia.

The girls competed against 13 other schools and 28 teams on the day.

Quiz questions were based on all kinds of Literature – classics, nursery rhymes, popular childrens’ literature, fairy tales, ‘Harry Potter’. There were 10 different categories; including ‘Gardens’, ‘Abbreviations’, ‘Middle Names’ and ‘Houses’ with 10 quiz questions in each category.

Our teams placed second (Team 1) and third (Team 2) overall in a deciding face-off against a team from St Andrews’ Cathedral School. We missed out on first place, which would have seen us earning a place at the National Lit Quiz finals, by the narrowest of margins.

There was a play-off between our two teams and a team from St Andrew’s Cathedral School in a tie-breaker for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. Our two teams emerged triumphant!!

Well done to Sabrina, Isabella, Jessica, Ira, Mataali, Theresa, Eimear, and Bella for an outstanding effort!
