The Diector of Education, Corona International group of Schoos, Mrs. Adetokunbo Matilukuro, has explained that the rationale behind the establishment of inter-school quiz competition among the branches of the school was to let the students realise that success is achieved through hard work, resilience and diligence.
Mrs Matilukuro disclosed this in her address at the 2023 edition of the annual quiz competition in Lagos.
She commended the performance of all the children and reitrated the importance of hard work as students.
“Success is achieved through hard work, resilience and diligence. These are very important values because through activities like the Interschool Quiz, the children are able to learn firsthand that success in any endeavour is not a product of chance but of preparation, hard work and the grace of God.”
Three schools, Corona School Lekki, Corona School Victoria Island and Corona School Ikoyi have emerged overall winners in non-academic category, academic category and Minecraft category respectively.
The 2023/2024 edition of the yearly programme brought all branches of the primary arm of the school together in the highly competitive contest.
The competing schools demonstrated exceptional knowledge, teamwork, intelligence and great sportsmanship throughout the annual quiz competition. The competition has come to be recognized as a platform to showcase the incredible intellectual prowess of learners from various schools in the Corona Group of schools.
“Success is achieved through hard work, resilience and diligence. These are very important values because through activities like the Interschool Quiz, the children are able to learn firsthand that success in any endeavour is not a product of chance but of preparation, hard work and the grace of God” she said.
Participants competed in several rounds of challenging quizzes covering a wide range of subjects like Music, Minecraft and specific co-curricular activities thereby fostering a healthy spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship among the pupils. The contest required the children to provide answers to complex questions which were delivered digitally to them.
The outstanding performance displayed by the students is a glowing testament to the commitment of both the students and the school’s teaching staff to quality education.
The school appreciated the parents and guardians for their unwavering support and encouragement which has continued to play a pivotal role to the success stories they continue to achieve with the learners.
