Congratulations to the 17 students from Stratford College who participated in the annual Ides of March Classical Studies quiz on Thursday, 21st March. This year 21 teams took part in the quiz with students representing a number of secondary schools from Dublin, Mullingar and Drogheda. The quiz comprised of ten rounds with six questions each. Questions are based on all of the topics on both the Junior and Leaving Certificate syllabus. Each school covers 5/10 topics at Junior Cert and 4/10 topics at Leaving Cert.
We entered four teams and our success was remarkable. Stratford came second, third, fourth and fifth. A truly Herculanean achievement. WELL DONE to you all.
