Last day of of the winter term? Well it has to be the end-of-term quiz! For a second year running it was run online and organised so brilliantly by the TY's. Not only was it a quiz (6 rounds of 10 questions), but it was highly entertaining and technically brilliant!
Each class stayed in their base room and joined the quiz online. The broadcasting centre was in the Computer Lab where the TY's ran the counting centre and broadcast the videos. Major shout-out to Noam in 5th Year who was also part of the team!
