The team, Issac Williamson, Kieran Ireland and Michael Lister (all aged 17), beat Otago Boys' High School and Logan Park High School in the 2012 Otago History Teachers Association's annual year 12/13 history competition. The competition, which attracted 19 teams, was extremely close and only decided in the final round when the EOHS team moved from third place to first.
It was a great recovery by the Palmerston team, which had misunderstood the music round and consequently scored just one out of 10.
