International History Bowl and Bee Competition

On Wednesday 21 June, three Emmaus teams competed in the International History Bowl and Bee competition held at Emmaus Christian College. Our teams prepared for many weeks prior, to compete against other schools in this history-themed quiz tournament.

We are thrilled to announce that our Varsity team won the championship! Congratulations to Adam and Cooper!

In the individual (Bee) section of the competition, our students achieved excellent results. Congratulations to:

• Adam (Year 11) - First place in the Varsity section
• Matthew  (Year 9) - Second place in the Junior Varsity section
• Romin (Year 7) - Third place and Chloe (Year 8) Fourth place - Middle School section 

Sincere thank you to Sharon Hughes and Danny Mills and to old scholars, Ryan and Lydia who assisted with scoring and the reading of questions and also to the parents for your support.

About the Competition

The International History Bee and Bowl (IHBB) are history-themed quiz tournaments (the Bee is for individual students; the Bowl is for teams) for students aged 11-18. 

Founded in 2010 in the USA, IHBB has since expanded to over 25 countries around the world. Both the Bee and the Bowl feature a buzzer system and comprehensive, paragraph-length questions that emphasize critical thinking and long-term knowledge of important topics on all fields, eras, and aspects of history. This approach encourages students to explore and study on their own and also provides for a fast-paced, and enjoyable competition.

South Plympton Junior School Identity Day

Emmaus Performing Arts Centre

South Plympton Campus Junior School

On Friday 7 July, our South Plympton Junior School students from Year 1 to Year 6 will take part in Identity Day. This is a chance for your child(ren) to share something special about themselves with the whole school. Foundation students will be working on a project “About Me” in their class with their teacher.

We are looking forward to the lively conversations around your child's small Identity Box that they are making at home ready to bring and display in the EPAC on Friday 7 July.

Your child's content can be about one interest, hobby, travel, sport, or your family heritage. See here for more information.
