Join us in celebrating the historic result of four AC literary quizmasters…
Lucia Watt-Martinez (Yr 13), Beth Mosley, Mia Rohrlach (both Yr 12) and Rose de Jong (Yr 10) are the 2024 champions of the Waikato High School Literature Quiz! It is the first time an Aquinas team has won the annual event.
They beat 22 Waikato school teams to win the quiz at Rototuna High School last Wednesday. Not bad considering the team was a last-minute combination. AC planned to enter a junior and senior squad but had to combine the two when schedule conflicts rendered some members unavailable.
Despite this, the team triumphed after six rounds of literary questions ranging from name the book series, ‘Who said this?’ and many more. They scored 53 out of a possible 60 points. Last year, Aquinas finished second in the event.
All four girls are members of the AC Book Club which meets each Thursday lunchtime with Mrs Swanepoel. Her involvement, they said, was integral to the team’s success.
Congratulations girls – an amazing result!
