Year 7&8 Times Tables Challenge

This week we completed the inaugural times tables challenge for Year 7 and 8 students. The students have been practicing their times tables for the last few weeks, both in class and at home. Two students (and one reserve in case they were required) qualified through two intense quizzes to represent their homeroom class in the finals. Congratulations to Ashtyn and Stanley (SWL), Jack and Jackson (LCW), Mana and David (DHT), Darby and Tiaki (SOL), Bijou and Nevaeh (ATN) and Giorgio and Mauatua (MNL). These were the 2021 Term 2 qualifiers. The final was held in the Hall, with the rest of the Year 7 and 8 cohort in the audience. The MC and quiz master for the finals was Mr Wood. It was a very intense competition, however, all of the participants eventually overcame their nerves and acquitted themselves commendably. 

The results were:

In first place and winner of the Year 7 8 Times Tables Cup Giorgio, who will be the quiz master in the Term 3 competition. Mana and Stanley took out second and third place. I am sure they will try to represent their homeroom classes again next term.

I would like to thank Whaea Alison and Whaea Louise for developing the competition and for all of the hard work they put into preparing for and running the day.
