Cape Town - Submissions are officially open for the 11th edition of the Cape Argus High Schools Quiz sponsored by Food Lover’s Market in association with IIE’s Varsity College.
The annual quiz encourages high school pupils to test their knowledge of the news published in the Cape Argus. The competition will put 40 questions to the teams at each quiz round, with teams scoring five points for every correct answer, but losing three points for anything they get wrong. The quiz has become one of the most fiercely contested high school competitions, with more than 100 teams entering last year.
The winning team will receive R3000 for each team member, along with R35000 for their school.
The top two teams will then go on to compete in the National High Schools Quiz against teams from across the country. There are some exciting changes in this year’s High Schools Quiz. This year, there will be two weeks of round robin stages instead of four, with the round robins expected to take place on April 23 and May 6.
