Fourteen teams consisting of over one hundred Sutton High School parents and supporters took part in the SHSA Annual Quiz last Friday and raised over two thousand pounds for the SHSA School fund.
The teams spanned representatives from nursery, prep, senior and sixth form as well as School governors and local quizzers. Our enthusiastic participants included teams such as Baubles for Brains, The Quizfathers, Let’s Get Quizzical, Stardust, None of your Quizzness, Lizzie Quizzy, Sutton the Bar Low, Licence to guess, The Mistletoe Mavens, Pesky Parents and SHSA Smarty Pants. Ultimately the School ‘Guv’nors’ team emerged triumphant stealing the champions’ crown from the Craggy Islanders who have won for the past three years in a row.
Winners: The Guv’nors—our very own School governors—clinched victory with a score of 79 narrowly beating last year’s champions, the Craggy Islanders.
Runners-up: The Craggy Islanders came in second with 72 though didn’t leave empty-handed, triumphing in the Wheelbarrow of Booze raffle. Their joint team members walked away with an impressive haul of donated wine and beer.
Third Place: Pesky Parents proudly secured third place with a very respectable score of 64.
The SHSA team kept the bar buzzing all evening, while our catering staff served up hearty jacket potatoes with a variety of delicious fillings. As always, the quiz was brilliantly hosted by Clare Hayward (Mrs Dawson’s PA and much loved, longstanding staff member of 16 years) and her husband Graham who generously donate their time each year.
Cindy Sharma, SHSA Chairperson said, “A huge thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped make the evening such a fun and successful community event. Our parent volunteers are amazing so please volunteer your time whenever we have events – it’s such a fun way to meet new parents and raise money for the School. Watch this space for details of next year’s quiz date.”
Sutton High Head, Mrs Dawson said, “Thank you so much to our parents and governors for their unstinting generosity and hard work. Successful events like these are testimony to Sutton High’s unwavering community spirit.”
