In the annual 2nd Year versus 3rd Year Classical Studies Quiz held on Thursday, 15th May, one of the 2nd Year teams won!
I would like to congratulate the Herculanean effort of the second year team who won our annual second Vs third year Classical Studies quiz on Thursday 15th May. (Click on blog title for more photos.)
The winning team consisted of Julie Cahill (Captain), Ryan Baker and Alannah Anderson. They scored a remarkable 39/42 points – an Olympian success one could say.
The students’ enthusiasm and sense of competition was inspiring. Well done to all the teams that participated and thanks to Ms. O’ Reilly and Ciara (5th Year) for helping with the scores.
