JUBILEE Catholic Secondary School was declared the winner of the National Book Week quiz competition in Port Moresby.
Three schools – Port Moresby International, Jubilee Catholic and Tokarara Secondary – in the National Capital District, took part in the competition which started last Tuesday and finished with the finals on Monday.
Office of Library and Archives acting assistant director technical service Bill Haro said the quiz was the highlight of the National Book Week.
He said the final was between Port Moresby International School and Jubilee.
The Jubilee team scored 39 points and Port Moresby International scored 34 points.
Haro said the quiz was held every year during National Book Week, but had not been held over the last four years.
Jubilee Catholic Secondary also won in 2016.
He said they planned to have a bigger competition next year, involving more schools in NCD.
Jubilee Catholic Secondary teacher Lucy Gabriel said her students had prepared well for the quiz and was pleased they had won the competition again.
She said they hoped to compete in the expanded competition next year.
The other schools that participated were also awarded prizes.
This year’s theme was “Lock down, stay safe and read books”.
