Zoe Cerne, a student from Sacred Heart Primary School, Pearce, was selected to participate in the second Year 4 students-only edition of Sam Mac’s Virtual Quiz, live on Channel Seven’s Sunrise. Zoe was one of eight children, one from each state and territory, chosen to appear on the segment.

From 5.30am and throughout the morning, the children had to answer different quiz questions on topics such as celebrities, sports and media.

When off air, Zoe had the opportunity to learn about her fellow contestants, their interests, hobbies and pets.

Each contestant prepared a colourful background that highlighted where they lived. Zoe chose to include her school banner and a Canberra Raiders’ flag.

Kate Cerne, Zoe’s mother, said that Zoe was thrilled to be given the opportunity to participate in the quiz. “She had such a great time. We are very proud of her” she said.

Anne Staines, Principal of Sacred Heart, said that Zoe was a wonderful ambassador for the Australian Capital Territory and her school. “We are very proud of Zoe’s efforts,” she said. “She was an excellent representative of Sacred Heart and Catholic Education.”

Well done Zoe!
