History Quiz Teams Take Titles

By Alastair Campbell | Posted: Wednesday August 21, 2019

On Tuesday night the annual Otago History Teachers' Association quiz was held at Otago Golf Club.

Over 30 teams made up of either Year 12 and 13 students or Year 11 represented schools from the wider Dunedin area. OBHS was represented by four teams, three in the senior division and one in the Year 11.

Our senior team of Colby, Sam, Kevin and Kelvin were defending their Year 12/13 title from last year. After ten rounds of increasingly difficult questions the boys were once again victorious.

In the Year 11 division, the team of Michael, Luke, Eric and Ben were equally successful wining their section. After four rounds they had lead the whole competition regardless of age group. Their performance gives great optimism for a hat-trick for OBHS next year. Our other two teams performed strongly, with one placing fourth.

Thanks must go to Paul Fielding and Ian Stevens for their organisation and delivery on the night.
