Kids Lit Quiz

On Monday 7 April, 112 students from 13 schools came to St Ursula’s to compete in the Kids’ Lit Quiz. Called ‘the sport of reading’ the quiz tests the students’ knowledge of literature from a wide range of genres. Questions ranged from folktales and fairytales to classic literature and the ever-popular Harry Potter series. The winner of the heat moved onto the Australian Final at Glebe in June, with the world finals to be held in South Africa.

Quizmaster Nicole Deans was impressed with the quality of the teams with a tie-breaker to decide the final placings. Congratulations go to the three St Ursula’s teams who showed great skill and determination; Sarah Lomas, Melanie Zarifeh, Charlotte Saoud, Chelsea Wang, Annabel Tarbuck, Angelica Oskis, Charlotte Saliba, Sophie Ung, Katerina Aoun, Elizabeth Richards, Audrey Choi and Elena Chung. Thank you also to the students who volunteered to ensure the day ran smoothly; Yana Kotsos, Chelsea Serrano, Emma Monticciolo, Ivy Tizzone, Ava Crowley-Sweet, Laura Mogan, Lana Fell, Lilyana Mitrevska, Amy Allerton, Zyva Chau and Joyce Wang.
