CONGRATULATIONS to the Wellesley College team of
four and to their coach Jane Kent for their exciting win in this afternoon’s
New Zealand final of the 2016 Kids’ Lit Quiz. As usual I fear my photo doesn’t
do justice to the magical feeling of the occasion but believe me those smiles
and happy eyes were something to see! The team (and this is an all boy school)
will be in Auckland for the World
Final at the IBBY Congress in August. Not too far behind the team were
Southwell School, Hamilton who were last year’s World Champions and Awakeri School from the Bay of Plenty who won the New Zealand finals a couple of years
ago.
The questions (devised by Wayne Mills
Quizmaster) were all intriguing
and never easy. As usual we came
away reeling at the extraordinary wide knowledge that these young readers who
understand the pleasures from being involved in the Sport of Reading, carry in
their heads. Well done!!
