Contenders… READY!

Are you a Global Gladiator? How good is your geography knowledge? 

This was the challenge set by Mr Sewell to the Year 7 students on Thursday 13th February at the Global Gladiators intercollege Quiz. Pupils had to sign-up in college groups of three to four people each and pit their wits against each other. 

'Global Gladiators gave the Year 7s an opportunity to test their geography quiz knowledge,’ explains Mr Sewell. ‘With prizes on the line, the students were incredibly enthusiastic to win - not only for themselves, but also for their colleges. Fifty-one pupils took part. It was a great environment, with lots of hard thinking and concentration going on.’  

Among them was Shay Karia from 7.10: ‘I took part because I know a lot about geography. During the quiz, I was confident I could do well and had a lot of fun participating and getting rewards.’ 

It was a closely fought contest between the colleges, but Sapphire emerged triumphant with 161 points! Emerald were runners-up, with Gold and Scarlet in third and fourth place respectively. 

‘All the students who took part should be very proud,’ says Mr Sewell, ‘as they demonstrated all five Claremont values in their participation!'
