WBR Credit Union has launched a search for teams of four, fearless schoolchildren who can make it through to the national final of the All Ireland Credit Union Schools Quiz. The Credit Union invited all primary schools in the local area of Warrenpoint, Burren & Rostrevor to take part in the 2018 Schools Quiz, and all schoolchildren put a super heroic effort when taking part in the quiz.
WBR Credit Union Searches for the ‘Fearless Four’ to take on All Ireland Schools’ Quiz
Each year around 25,000 schoolchildren across Ireland take part in the quiz, which is now in its 27th year. The quiz is divided into two sections; Competition A for children up to 11 years and Competition B for children between 11 and 13 years. The quiz began with a knock-out stage at local level which took place at St Dallan’s Primary School on Friday 26thJanuary 2018. From this gruelling competition, St Dallan’s PS came out on top as the winning teams in both competitions and the ‘fearless’ four from each team will make it through to the regional knockout stage in Saturday 3rd March in Armagh City Hotel. The national final will take place in Dublin on Sunday 8th April 2018 where a fantastic €4,000 is up for grabs for the winning schools.
Speaking about the quiz, Yvonne White, Manager WBR Credit Union said: “The quiz is an enjoyable and fun way for schools in the local area to nurture a culture of partnership among students, and we would really encourage learning in a teamwork setting, and equip children from a young age with the skills necessary to collaborate with others in the workplace. Questions cover a wide range of topics including geography, history, music, literature and sport, and we have no doubt that all of our budding geniuses will rise to the challenge.”
