Connect Credit Union said it was delighted to host its annual School Quiz last week at the Fairways Hotel, welcoming students from across the local community for a day of fun, teamwork and friendly competition.
Schools from Blackrock, Haggardstown, Clogherhead, Stabannon, Kilkerley, Termonfeckin, Togher, Knockbridge and Annagassan were represented on the day, with teams putting their knowledge to the test across a wide range of topics.
There was a great sense of camaraderie in the room, as students supported one another and enjoyed some light-hearted rivalry between neighbouring schools.
The quiz featured both Under 11 and Under 13 categories, with students demonstrating impressive general knowledge and great teamwork throughout the day.
