Last Friday night (9 March), parents, guardians and friends of Springdale gathered in the Cedar Lounge for our annual table quiz. Thanks to everyone who supported our school by attending and to those who donated raffle prizes. The evening was a great success and congratulations to the Casey family who were the overall winners of the quiz, to Lar Duffy our quiz master, to everyone who won spot prizes and the many raffle prize winners.
Ms Stirling’s class took on the role of quasi quiz master for one of the rounds as they were given the opportunity in class to suggest questions that could be used in the quiz.
