Local Primary Schools have been invited to participate in the first stage of the nationwide 2011 Credit Union Schools’ Quiz competition organised by the naomh Padraig Credit Union in St Nicholas Parochial School tomorrow Friday February 4 at 2.30pm.
More than 25,000 schoolchildren under the age of 13 will compete in over 300 venues throughout the 32 Counties.
The questions, compiled by primary school teachers, will cover such general topics as geography, history, music, literature, and sport.
This is the 20th successive year that the Schools Quiz has been organised by the Irish League of Credit Unions.
It consists of two ‘knock-out’ stages which culminate in a national final in Dublin in early April when 100 qualifying teams will compete.
In addition to salvers, certificates and prizes to the winning teams’ members, the winning schools will also receive a welcome cash prize.
