Varsity College Pretoria hosted its 4th annual School Quiz on the 6th of September 2011, at the Pretoria Boys High School. A total of 21 of Pretoria’s top schools entered their teams into the quiz event; including Abbotts College, Hillview High School, Hoërskool Oos-Moot, Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool and Pretoria High School for Girls.
Nicole Flint, a former Miss South Africa hosted the event, which consisted of questions from seven categories including history, sport and general knowledge.
As the quiz started out the different teams did extremely well; but the competition soon became stiff during the second and third round. Top teams consisted of Crawford College, Hoërskool Montana, Pretoria Boys High School and Hoërskool Waterkloof.
Unfortunately, only one team could take the stunning Albert Einstein Schools Quiz floating trophy. Crawford College was crowned the champions for the Varsity College Pretoria Schools Quiz 2011, taking home a cash prize of R 1 000.00 per team member and a Varsity College full two year bursary. Sutherland High School took second place banking a cash prize of R 500.00 per team member and a one year full Varsity College bursary and in third place was Pretoria Boys High School taking home a cash prize of R 250.00 per team member and a one year full Varsity College bursary.
The event was held to allow the pupils to participate in an event which was both fun as well as educational. The evening was enjoyed by the participants, the audience and the school teachers.
