Students from John Paul College were surprised and delighted to win the annual inter-school Catholic Cultural Competition, the Chanel Shield, by one point.
The team of 15 students competed in a variety of speeches, Bible reading, drama and debating, at Aquinas College, Tauranga, last month. The competition concluded with a quiz based on the gospel of Matthew.
Lucy Pepper, 17, said they were surprised to win and it took a while for it to sink in – “it was great”.
