Broughton Kids Lit Quiz Team – Second Place in Australian Final

Four of our Year 7 students represented the school in the Australia Finals of the Kids Lit Quiz held at Trinity Grammar school. The team came second out of the eleven teams and we can be very proud of their remarkable achievement. They each received a silver medallion, a selection of books and $50 in cash.

“Last term, we went to the Kids Lit Quiz NSW heat and to our amazement, got second. Part of the reward for this, was an opportunity to compete in the national final, with a chance to represent our country at the world final which was being held in New Zealand. The National Final was held at Trinity Grammar School, in Summer Hill. Though we did not win, we were lucky enough to come in second place!

The competition was very hard. We had to verse 11 teams from all over Australia, who all came 1st in their own heats. It was an amazing experience and we got to meet the famous author Jacqueline Harvey who is best known for her Alice Miranda series.

On behalf of the team we would like to thank Mrs Sheerman and Mrs Koek for their ongoing support and confidence in us throughout this journey. Overall it was an awesome experience and a fantastic day and we hope to return next year and win nationals!” (Payton, Isabelle, Prisha and Hannah)
