BDO School Quiz round four winners

3 May 2016

Now in its seventh year, the BDO School Quiz is a fixture on the academic calendar for schools throughout Durban and Pietermaritzburg. It gives teams of four Grade 10 or 11 learners the opportunity to pit their general knowledge skills against one another in a round robin competition.

The Highway winners of the BDO School Quiz were this team of Grade 10 learners from Westville Boys High school. They are shown here receiving their prize from Sally Juckes of BDO (left to right) Luca Folpini, Benton Erasmus, Siya Ndlwana and Liam O’Connor, Tracy-Lee Sydney-Smith of Kip McGrath.

Round four (Highway Round) of BDO School Quiz went to Westville Boys High School in a closely fought contest. The four Grade 10 members of the winning team beat a team from Thomas More College to claim victory with 71 points. Luca Folpini, Benton Erasmus, Siya Ndlwana and Liam O’Connor celebrated their win with the 22 teams that took part in their round. The top two teams of four Grade 10 or 11 learners from each school in each round will go through to the finals, which will be held at Clifton College on 5 May.

The quiz champions earn the right to nominate a disadvantaged school to win R10,000 worth of books. BDO has teamed up with independent bookstore Books&Books again this year and an additional sponsor, Kip McGrath Education and Learner Enrichment Centres.
