Reach for the Top
Do you Know the Answers to These Questions?By Christine Irwin and Wilson Zhang - 2009/11/06 Edition
Which Canadian Prime Minister was instrumental in the cancellation of the Avro Arrow project?
What is the capital of Estonia?
Did you get that the answer was John Diefenbaker or Tallinn? Or did you get it wrong, but have plenty of fun anyways trying to figure it out? Either way, Reach for the Top is for you.
Reach is formed of two groups: the Junior (Grade 9-10) and Senior (Grade 11-12) team. Both teams practice (while having quite a bit of fun) regularly, and the Senior team also goes to regional competitions in the spring. Last year we placed fifth in the region, and only lost by 20 points to one of the best teams (who incidentally, had creamed us the year before).
This year we may also run some in-school competitions, more details to follow.
