Obs Junior astronomy club champions

OBS Junior School boasts an astronomy club which has successfully made it through all four rounds of the regional astronomy quiz competition, beating 80 schools, to represent the Western Cape at the nationals in Gauteng in October.
Every year, Obs Junior joins the quiz to encourage grade-seven learners to consider a science and maths path in high school.
Obs Junior teacher Margaret Rosberg, who has been running the club since 2007, says that astronomy incorporates science in a fun way. “We hope that they will follow a science career once they leave school,” she said.
