The Xaverian Quiz Club has been an active,
intellectual arm of the institution since the inception of
quiz competitions in the 1960’s. The Quiz Club of this
school has always been a vibrant, dynamic, prize-achieving
body, no matter how many AVTAARS it had to go through.
At present, the club is being monitored by Mr. Andrew Singh,
Ms. Sriporna Chakraborty and Mr. Brett Fernandes. The latter
two teachers have also escorted some of our teams to the
Quiz Venues.
Year 2012-2013
On the 24th July 2012 students from Classes 8 - 12 of St
Xavier's Collegiate School Kolkata participated in Quizzard,
a quiz organized by The Times of India and Metro Dairy at
the St. Xavier's College Auditorium.
Over 80 schools took part in three sets of prelims which was
concluded by a final of six rounds. Of the three Xaviers'
teams that took part, one of our teams, featuring Anshuman
Mohan of Class 12 and Shourya Dasgupta of Class 11 emerged
winners and were victorious in winning the trophy.
It should-be noted that at the end of the fourth round our
boys were no where near even third place, but suddenly came
alive in the fifth round to briefly leap-frog everybody to
the first spot. It was in the sixth and final round that
Anshuman and Shourya literally ran away with the Quiz to
finish comfortably ahead of the second placed team by over
50 points.
Our boys are currently looking forward to more Quizzes in
the coming months.
