2009 Schools’ Challenge Final Results
March 31, 2009
For 40 years School Challenge Quiz has been an important, well respected and supported program on Jamaican television. In the 2009 season over 80 teams took part with the final 2 schools Kingston College and Ardene High School facing off in a pulsating, action packed, hard fought final in which Kingston College came out on top with the final scores reading Kingston College 42 and Ardene High School 14.
Jamaicans are naturally very competitive people with many still supporting the high schools they attended as teenagers, combined that results in a well supported and keenly watched local television program on Television Jamaica.
Jamaicapage.com would like to congratulate all the teams who participated in this years School’s Challenge Quiz. Special congratulations to Kingston College the 2009 champions.

Nice post, very noble and well laid. Congrats to KC. I like you mentioning the unusually competitive nature of Jamaicans especially in relation to their secondary level schools. I think it’s a rare phenomenon around the world, part of which I am hoping to bring to people over here, where there is hardly even a past students association culture.
FORTIS! (ok i had to show my true colours….ur turn is coming Sat?)
i think they did great . kingston college is wonderful.
I have been trying to locate a book by Steven Vacianni which I understand is filled with School’s Challenge Quiz Questions and Answers (unsure if that’s the title). None of the bookstores I have contacted have it in stock. Can u help? Thnkz
i want some new schools to be in the competion
Congrats KC. They could win again this year.
@Sherika, what do you mean by “I want new schools in the competition”? Most of the traditional schools compete each year. Are you asking for the non-traditional (former Secondary schools) to be all included or are you saying the same handful of teams teams seem to win each year?
