Are you able to help the Tahuna Lit Quiz team get to the national final in Wellington?
Dunedin, Otago
Our team of literary giants (Layla Wainwright, Riley McCracken, Lily Williams and Feidhlim Fogarty) have won the Otago Regionals Lit Quiz Final and have earned their place in history to represent Tahuna Normal Intermediate School and Otago at the NZ Lit Quiz Final in Wellington at the National Library on 15 June 2024.
As you can guess, sending the four team members, myself and a parent to Wellington for two nights isn't cheap. We are using our own prize money, applying for grants, seeking sponsorship, applying for funding from our school council, fundraising etc. but we can't get to Welly alone and we need your help (anything at all helps us).
Thank you so much for considering, we promise we'll be making the most of this opportunity. Your support (no matter how much) means so much to us.
‘Well, maybe it started that way. As a dream, but doesn’t everything? Those buildings. These lights. This whole city. Somebody had to dream about it first. And maybe that is what I did. I dreamed about coming here, but then I did it.’ – James and the Giant Peach
I am Sean Minhinnick, the teacher in charge of our Lit Quiz team.
Any funds raised will go towards travel costs i.e. flights, accommodation etc.
Lit Quiz Nationals 15 June 2024
We had the best time enjoying the city, each other's company and competing at the nationals. The competition was tough with 17 of the best teams in the country. Our team performed really well, resulting in an 11th place finish.
A massive thank you to Leigh Carter for coming along as parent help and a HUGE congratulations to Riley McCracken, Lily Williams, Feidhlim Fogarty and Layla Wainwright - you made us all so proud!
Lastly, thank you for your support - it has meant the world to us while training and competing.
