Te Kanawa House Take Out Olympics Of The Mind
UHC Admin - August 28, 2021
In this competition students earn house points through team participation with a series of academic and general knowledge quizzes. This year the “Go Local”- Kiwiana round and the Brainteasers proved the difference between the teams. Let’s see how you would have gone with these taster questions:
Did any Woman sign the Treaty of Waitangi?
Which country was Sir Peter Blake in when he was shot and killed by pirates?
When was the law passed to allow Saturday shopping in NZ?
In Maori mythology who is the God of the Sea?
What does the kiwi have on the end of its bill that no other bird has there?
Although there was only 1 point between first and second placed senior teams at the end of two days of competition congratulations must go to TK Seniors - Dani, Keah and Teah and Jackson Juniors – Jia, Sofia and Melanie for their first placed rankings.
Overall house points for the competition were as follows:
1st = Te Kanawa
2nd = Jackson
3rd = Hillary
4th = Blake
