Wexford school qualifies for final in a bid to become Ireland's fittest school
Supported by Irish fruit importer Fyffes and tracked online, the purpose of the competition, launched in December and now in its fourth year, is to promote the importance of exercise, fitness and healthy eating amongst young people.
The Leinster final will take place at SCD Leisure Tallaght in early May, after which the top school from each of the Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster provincial finals will then progress to the grand final in Athlone on May 19.
The live final will be hosted by one of Ireland's best-known Olympians sprinter David Gillick and the prize package will include €8,000 worth of sports equipment and the title of Ireland's Fittest School 2025.
The three other schools taking part in the Leinster final will be Dangan Mixed National School from Meath, St. Michael's Boys National School from Longford and Scoil Na Mainistreach from Kildare.
