More than 1 000 pupils enter the challenge from Grade 4 to Grade 7, and only 300 make it through to the final round, making competition for these spots intense indeed.
The following students received awards on Monday, 9 September: Aaron Dorfan – 9th place in the middle primary division; Nechama Fischer – 7th place in the middle primary division; Francesca Lewitton – 9th place in the upper primary division (and the top girl in her division).
KDVPP was placed 5th overall in the middle primary division, and 7th in the upper primary division, with 20 schools competing.
