On Saturday 24 May, the Berkley Lit Quiz team, “The Quizzards of Oz, “ went to Wellington to compete in the NZ finals 2025.  Our team was myself, Morgan Foley, Elliot Nicholson and Isla Duggan.

We got to the airport at 7:30, ready for the day. Our team travelled down early so we could have time to chill at the National Library, where we explored the history of the Treaty of Waitangi, the Declaration of Independence, and Women's Suffrage Movement. After learning on a Saturday, our team was ready to “ take up the challenge” at Lit Quiz.

After challenging questions and stressful rounds covering topics such as Hybrids, Titles, Authors, and Picturebook opening, we had to do a tie-breaker between three teams to secure fourth place! That makes us fourth in New Zealand out of eighteen teams.

We are all really proud of what we have accomplished and want to thank Miss Bailey for all her mentoring and support.
