Today, Sgoil a’ Bhac hosted this year’s inter-schools EuroQuiz competition. As well as our own team, we welcomed teams and supporters from Laxdale, Lionel, Sgoil an Rubha, Tolsta, Sir E Scott and Stornoway Primary. A simultaneous event was being held in the Southern Isles for Uist schools. Quizmaster Zena Stewart got the competition underway with a packed hall of supporters from all the schools.
\nThe first part of the competition involved four rounds:
\n– European Geography
\n– Languages (French, Spanish, German)
\n– European Union
\n– Culture, History & Sport.<\/p>\n
At the end of the four rounds, the top two teams across the Western Isles were to go head-to-head in the final to decide the winner. \u00a0At the end of the four rounds, the scores were as follows:<\/p>\n

As the top two teams, Sgoil a’ Bhac and Stornoway Primary went head-to-head in the final. In a nail-biting battle, the final finished in a 7-7 tie. The tension ramped up even further as we entered a knockout tie-break. In a gripping finale, Stornoway Primary edged the win with a 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n
We’d like to say a huge well done to our team (James, Ellie, Holly and Maia) for such a great performance on the day and for working so hard in preparing for the event. We’d also like to say thanks to their teachers, Miss Macdonald and Mrs Murray for their help in tutoring the team and to our janitor, Mr Macdonald, for organising the tables and seating in the hall.<\/p>\n
We’d also like to pass on our congratulations to Stornoway Primary and wish them well when they go on to represent the Western Isles in the national EuroQuiz in Edinburgh later this year.<\/p>\n Today, Sgoil a’ Bhac hosted this year’s inter-schools EuroQuiz competition.
