Victory For Vinter!

Pupils from each of the Truro School houses have battled it out this week in our ‘Top House Quiz’.

During Monday and Tuesday lunchtime, teams from Wickett, Vinter, School and Smith joined Dr Spring, Mr Johnson and Mrs Stone for a fast-paced, ‘finger-on-the-buzzer’ quiz, competing to win points for their house.

The opening round saw a thrilling girls vs. boys showdown between Vinter and School. After a closely fought contest, Vinter emerged victorious, edging ahead with 15 points to School’s 14. Contestants tackled questions on history, art, geography, sport, film, drama, and general knowledge. Round 2 saw Wickett take on Smith, with Wickett winning 6 points to 4.

On Tuesday afternoon, teams regrouped for the final, with the Head, Mr Johnson, taking on the Quizmaster role for the first time. The battle for 3rd and 4th place saw Olliver and George representing Smith House, while Joseph, Lamorna, Tom and George flew the flag for School House. After a tense round that ended in a 6–6 tie, a deciding question gave School the win and 3rd place overall.

In the final showdown for 1st place, Wickett was represented by Joel, Yilin and Sarang, and faced stiff competition from Vinter’s Julia and Ben. At half time the results were 11 – 6 to Vinter, with Julia delivering rapid-fire responses, before a final score of 14 – 12. Julia and Ben’s impressive performance secured first place for their house, with teammates Yuqi and Florence also contributing to their Monday victory.
