The Big House Quiz

Every last Wednesday of Half Term, we host the whole School House competitions. This week we had the Big House Quiz and what a success it was! Year 13 House Captains spent this half term planning and organising the event, coming up with different ideas, designing the rounds and running the event. The quiz was run in a pub quiz style with lots of different rounds from logos, music, countdown and baby photos of staff. It was so nice to see everyone get involved and winning House points. It’s fair to say the Refectory was buzzing. 
 
A few questions from our general knowledge round for you to have a go– (answers at the end):
 

  1. Which sporting teacher recently got engaged?
  2. How long has Mr Kilpatrick been Headmaster?
  3. Who won Sidcot’s Got Talent in 2018?
  4. Which teacher has competed in the Olympics?
  5. How many different nationalities are present at Sidcot?
  6. How long has Miss Bellinger taught at Sidcot? 

 
Very engaging and most enjoyable House event! Congratulations to the House Captains” – Oliver 

“It was a great opportunity to run a whole school event! We get first-hand experience in working as a team, organization, time management, and having to be flexible. The best feeling is when we see everyone enjoying our event and all our hard work is paid off! ” – Theo (North House Captain)
 
Well done to all the House Captains for staging another fantastic event, results from the quiz are being added up and will be announced in Assembly when we return from half term.
 
House fundraising day (Race for Life) will be held on the 18th of May. Last year this was a really successful event and we raised over £5000 for Cancer Research UK. Due to Covid restrictions, it was not possible to get parents involved but now things seem to look more positive, we would love to welcome parents that would like to help out on the day. We are currently looking for sponsors for the bouncy castle, and parents/families that may like to run a food stall or a fair game. If you would like to get involved, please contact Joy Cheung joy.cheung@sidcot.org.uk
