March 9th, 2016 -- The two-member team of the Tyrell Williams Primary School won handily from a field of four finalists to take the Primary Schools Quiz Championship shield for the first time.
From a possible total of 20 points, they scored 18 (with Joshornnia Edwards correctly answering all questions). Their closest challengers were Bronte Welsh Primary and George Moody Stuart Primary (champion for the preceding three consecutive years) on 12 points each. The Seventh Day Adventist Primary, a close runner up in several recent years, trailed this year on 8 points.
Some 19 Primary Schools in St. Kitts took part in the Preliminary Phase from which 9 schools advanced to the Semi-Final.
The annual Primary Schools ‘Know your Country Quiz’ is based upon the Social Studies Syllabus. Now in its 9th year, it is one of the activities of the annual History and Heritage Month.
