All set for Independent’s National High Schools Quiz final
Today eight teams will gather in Sandton for the final of Independent Media’s High Schools Quiz with IIE Varsity College.
The teams representing the Pretoria News are from the Pretoria Chinese School and Pretoria Boys’ High, the same two teams as represented the capital last year.
They come up against teams representing other newspapers in the Independent group, The Star, Cape Times and Daily News for the title of 2019 National High Schools Quiz champions.
This year’s winning team will take prizes including R20000 for their school, R5000 for each team member and teacher, a tablet for each team member and certificates.
The runner-up team will get R10000 for their school and R2500 for each team member and teacher.
Over the years the quiz has become one of the most fiercely contested high school contests, and this year more than 40 teams entered in each region.
The quiz encourages learners to test their knowledge of current affairs, politics, sport, business and entertainment through the study of articles published in Independent Media’s titles and online site IOL.
Managing director of the IIE’s Varsity College, Louise Wiseman, said they were proud to be associated with the event.
