Eight students (Ayaan Bansal 10D3, Brian Liu 10S4, Benjamin McKay 10S4, Bill Nguyen 10D3, Linda Huynh 10J11, Kate Parker 10B13, Esha Chalasani 10J11, and Lucy Yu 10B1) attended a regional competition called Japan Trivia Night on Friday 13 June. The teams decided to divide themselves into a boy’s team and a girl’s team. We prepared for Japan Trivia night by dressing up in traditional kimono and jackets. The boy’s team (Botany Downs Team 1) advanced to a three-way tiebreaker for second, third, and fourth place. This was followed by a drumroll and Botany Downs Team 1 was called up for second place for the Auckland region. We took home some awards, and everyone was celebrating. It was a wonderful evening, and we all cheered and sang along to celebrate. With 31 total points, our Botany Downs Team 2 placed sixth. With a total score of 33, the Botany Down Team 1 placed second.
