Local schools of People First Credit Union to battle for Schools Quiz Honours!
People First Credit Union is inviting primary schools in the Portlaoise, Abbeyleix, Athy and Stradbally area to join our Credit Union Schools Quiz 2024.
To participate, contact the credit union and register for the local knockout stage happening at The Abbeyleix Manor Hotel venue on Friday 26th January 2024. The winning teams will advance to the regional stage in early March.
In this nervewracking clash of wits, they will go head-to-head with other formidable teams, creating an exhilarating competition. The goal is to reach the Grand Final at the RDS, Dublin in April 2024.
Join us for an experience that goes beyond the competition, shaping memories that endure beyond your school days. It is Your Team, Your School, Your Community – get ready to highlight your knowledge!
Speaking about the quiz, Carol Murphy Marketing Manager, People First Credit Union said:
The CU Schools Quiz is more than a chance to win prizes – it is an unforgettable journey of teamwork and lasting memories. Represent your school with pride as you advance from local to regional and national levels, bolstered by the unwavering support of your local community and credit union. The event is also a wonderful opportunity for the children to make friends outside of their schools, while being the community of People First Credit Union.
Questions will cover a wide range of topics including geography, history, music, literature, and sport, and we have no doubt that school children in the Laois/Athy area will rise to the challenge.
Registration for the 2024 Schools Quiz is now open and local schools and children interested in participating can contact People First Credit Union for entry forms and for further information.
