Friday the 5th of May was a very positive day where the ACTS group [Association for Christian Teacher and Students] held a Bible Quiz. We had number of students join in and eleven teams of four students participated. The groups were required to list as many books of the Bible as they could in the given time. The results were: Third place, with a score of 49/66, went to grade 10 learners: Senamile Kunene, Aphelele Masondo, Sanele Sibiya and Senzelwe Mbhamali. In second place, with a score of 52/66, were grade 11 leaners: Smukelo Nkosi, Alwande Ntombela, Kyle Brasdorf and Lesile Westermeyer.
