POLOKWANE – Mitchell House’s gr. 4 to 7 science learners participated in the National Science Olympiad recently.
The Olympiad is a recognised, prestigious event and the questions were not necessarily curriculum based, meaning that the learners had to do a lot of extra studying and research.
“We congratulate our teachers, Kerry Spratt and Heather Swallow, for making sure that our learners were well prepared for the Olympiad,” Andrew Cook, headmaster of the school, said.
