In a first for our school, a team of Year 7 and 8 students travelled to Box Hill earlier this month to represent MLMC in the Victorian heats of the Kids Lit Quiz (KLQ).

KLQ heats are held all over the world for students aged between 10 and 14 years. Winning teams from each state will compete in national finals. Last year, the World Finals were held in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Charlotte, Tahlia, Milla and Catarina were chosen to represent MLMC after tryouts were held in Term 1. They competed with about 30 other schools. As a team they answered more than 100 questions on stories, authors, characters, films, plays and poetry, and came within six points of claiming a place in the national finals in Sydney.

We are looking forward to entering more teams and building on our success next year.

Congratulations Charlotte, Tahlia, Milla and Catarina.
