What a wonderful time spent with our “kids” and “teens” participants during our Autumn school holiday program this week. Thank you for joining us and for your excellent contributions to our topic of focus: The Convention of the Rights of the Child.

The final teens group to score the highest number of points this term is Honour Among Thieves, a mighty 323 points and well deserved. Excellent efforts from all other groups 🏆 🥇 🙌

Wii U has a new moment to shine as the name of the highest point scoring group for Term 1 - a whopping 299 points! A valiant effort from the runners-up. Great work, all! 🏆 🥇 🙌

The Fake Liquid kept it real and brought home the winning group score for term 1, an outstanding result of 384 points! The battle was close, well done to all groups for your commendable efforts. 🏆 🥇 🙌

In a shocking turn of events, we have our very first group tie with The Council of Jeff and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Reptiles both ending term 1 with a total score of 170 group points! Well done everyone, outstanding effort. 🏆 🥇 🙌
