The final rounds were incredibly close, with both teams showing their immense knowledge and skill. In a nail-biting finish, Da Vinci claimed the Year 7 title, while Nansen fought off strong competition to become the Year 8 champions. Da Vinci also picked up the trophy for the most combined points between both years.

 

Congratulations to our winners and well done to everyone who represented their houses so well! To our current Year 7 students: we highly encourage you to sign up for this ECA next year. Finally, a huge thank you to all the Battle of the Books students this year for your hard work and engagement in this ECA this year.
