As an extension of The Daily Star's 12-day “Odommo Chattagram” festival, which ended on Tuesday, Sunshine Grammar School organised two competitions, one on a quiz and the other on writing on a set idea, at its premises. Twenty five young minds were adjudged winners after the competitions, where students of the school and of Chittagong Sunshine School and Chittagong Sunshine College competed head-to-head.
