Connect Credit Union School Quiz 2026

Connect Credit Union 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. After several exciting rounds, Scoil Naomh Feichin claimed victory in the Under 11 category, while St Francis National School were champions in the Under 13 competition.

Speaking after the event, Norman McDonnell, CEO of Connect Credit Union, said:

“We were absolutely delighted to see such a fantastic turnout for our School Quiz. Events like this are a wonderful opportunity to bring young people from across our communities together in a fun and positive environment.”

He added:

“At Connect Credit Union, we are proud to support our local schools and encourage initiatives that promote learning, confidence and community involvement. The friendly competition on the day created a brilliant atmosphere, and we congratulate all the teams who took part.”

Connect Credit Union would like to thank the teachers and parents who helped make the event such a success, as well as the staff at the Fairways Hotel for hosting the event.
