Term 2

 LIT QUIZ TEAM

Last Term a group of students represented Maungaraki School at the Kids Lit Quiz. They attended the Wellington heat so there were schools from across the Wellington region with the competition being very tough. The overall winner was Queen Margaret College who now go into the New Zealand National Final in May. Our team: Tyson, Allie, Josephine and Dylan represented Maungaraki School well, we thank you for the effort and the work you did leading up to this event.
