The Spanish department in John Gray High School held its inaugural Spanish competition finals earlier this month.
Kerita Levermore-Stewart, head of Spanish at the school, said this competition reflected the students’ enduring quest to find innovative ways to invigorate learning experiences at the high school.
“This is a truly collaborative effort resulting in a phenomenal outcome. We were joined by teachers of the Spanish Department at Clifton Hunter High School, who served along with our staff and other community members in varied capacities,” Levermore-Stewart said.
She said that the Spanish quiz, which was held on 11 Feb., was open to all grades and each team had a representative from Years 7 to 11.
The competition, which was themed ‘Saber es Poder’ (Knowledge is Power), was won by Team Tarpon.
Year 11 student De’Neil Watson said he is already anticipating next year’s event.
“This was truly a great experience for me and even though I am in Year 11, I would like to return next year just for this, and maybe as a judge, because I will continue my Spanish,” Watson said.
Principal Jonathan Clark said he was proud of the school’s Spanish team, adding, “We are always looking to extend and enrich our curriculum, and our inaugural Spanish quiz provided some of our stronger students with an opportunity to compete across our academies and also to inspire their peers.”
