News likely to appeal to teachers and pupils looking to get 2024 off to a healthy start is the announcement from banana importer Fyffes that its search to find ‘Ireland’s fittest school 2024’ has now gone live.
Running until the end of March, the top four schools in Ireland, north and south, will progress to a live ‘grand final’ at which the prize package will include €8,000 worth of sports equipment.
Working with Fyffes, their aim is to find a school whose focus on fitness will replicate the success of previous ‘Ireland’s Fittest School’ winners – Scoil Na Croise Naofa, Dunfanaghy (2022) and Gilson National School, Oldcastle (2023). Schools can register at www.fyffesfitsquad.ie
