Kids Lit Quiz International Final and celebratory dinner.

From the Storylines newsletter


The Waikato Children’s Literature Association invites you to the 20th Anniversary Kids Lit Quiz™ International Final being held on Tuesday 19 July, 2.00pm at Southwell School Auditorium, 200 Peachgrove Road, Hamilton. (Tickets are not required for entry but a koha would be appreciated.)

The Gala Dinner will follow at 6.30pm in the Southwell Flat Floor Theatre and will feature authors Brian Falkner, David Hill, Tessa Duder and Jenny Hessell. Other New Zealand children’s authors will also be seen on the big screen and many books will be given away during the evening.

Tickets for the dinner are $70 for adults and $35 for children 14 and under. Places are limited so be in quick. For more information and to order Gala Dinner tickets email Gerri Judkins.



Six teams will compete in the international final. They are from England, the UK champions, NZ, Southwell School (as hosts), Canada and South Africa. (The UK champion team from Cockermouth won the UK Final. The second placed team was invited also to compete and hence Bristol Grammar will represent England).
If ever you wanted to see kids who live to read and enjoy a literary challenge then please feel invited to attend International Final.
