World Book Day

4 March 2016

On the evening of Thursday 3 March, Stowe Library and the English Department arranged a celebration for World Book Day in the form of an Inter-House literary quiz. Pupils across all year groups were able to demonstrate their knowledge of everything from fine literature to a fine book to movie adaptation. The six rounds of the event paid homage to authors Anthony Horowitz, J.D. Salinger and Ian McEwan, alongside a picture round and other general knowledge questions. Each House put forward their most avid readers to participate in the competition but other House members had to the opportunity to win points for audience participation, thus garnering their House additional points in the process.

The winning team on the night was Queen’s, however once the audience participation scores had been added the overall winners were Nugent.
