The event saw a selection of staff take part in a high-energy quiz-style competition, showcasing their wit, intelligence, and pride in their respective houses. Divided into four intense rounds covering General Knowledge, Music, Film/TV, and Cryptic Clues, the competition was fierce from the get-go.

This event however, wasn't just about the staff; the students played a pivotal role in the proceedings. Led by our Sixth Form House Captains - Geri, Amina, Isaac, and Isaac - the students stepped into the limelight, earning valuable house points by answering topical questions. Their eagerness to engage and contribute further heightened the sense of team spirit that spread throughout the event.

After four rounds of spirited competition, the showdown culminated in a thrilling two-way tie for first place between the Mayflower and Saltram houses, closely followed by Smeaton and Sutton in second place.

Students expressed their delight and eagerness for future events which was so positive to hear. Meanwhile, our dedicated staff, caught up in the spirit of the game, even went as far as double-checking answers, a testament to the level of competitiveness that infused the event!

Ultimately, the House-Brity Mastermind proved to be more than just a competition; it was a lovely and wholesome way to end the week and bring everyone together here at Stoke Damerel Community College.
