Randfontein High School (RHS) hosted its annual Mastermind quiz at the school’s hall on 29 May.
Pupils from eight different schools participated in the quiz and saw themselves battling for the first place.
According to RHS representative Jason Fischer, the purpose of the quiz is to give the top achievers from different schools an opportunity to sharpen their knowledge on a wide range of subjects.
Questions asked in the quiz were on different categories such as mathematics, science, general knowledge, geography, literature and sports.
“We had a quizmaster in place who asked the teams questions and the first team that pressed the buzzer got to an opportunity to answer the question asked.
“When they answered the question correctly, the team then scored themselves a point and if not, then they forfeited a point,” says Fischer.
According to him, this gave them an opportunity to improve their knowledge and learn a thing of two from each other.
He is adamant that although Krugersdorp High School walked away with the title, their school will take the title on the next quiz.
