Congratulations to our Manawatu Lit Quiz Team

On Monday 10th April, a team of 6 Whakarongo students went to PNINS to compete in the Manawatu Lit Quiz Competition.   The team had been training at lunchtimes with Mrs Thompson and other students, testing their book knowledge and preparing for the experience of being in a quiz team.  The competing team on the day was Axis Simon, Emma Mildenhall, Rose Neal and Kaija Fouhy.  Rebecca Ward and Johanna Halcox also attended the event as reserves and audience participants.
With 40 teams competing, the students worked well together, each bringing their own areas of expertise.  They finished 8th in the competition - an outstanding result.
