Other schools that made a podium finish as well as a few others at the event include; Clemmy High School, Caleb International School, Christ the King primary school, Preserved Generation School, Pasture Gate Montessori school, Ostra Height school, among others.

Three schools that made it to the podium in each category, won flat-screen televisions, printers and table fans.

Speaking, co-founders of Hands & Minds Educational Consult, Laurence and Iziegbe Ekpe, who have been the chief organizers of the annual competition, shed more light on the essence and growth of the competition over the years.

“At H&M Consult, we believe in holistic education. We are quite aware that there are a lot of platforms that reward children for academic excellence, but we know that there are children whose talents are not limited to the classrooms, they have the arts and creatives in them, yet there are not a lot of platforms for them to showcase or harness their talents,” Ekpe said.

“We know the spelling bees are out there, we know the mathematics competitions are out there, but we wanted to create room for children to showcase their natural talents in dance, music and creative arts. We have done this to reward both the children and the schools for grooming them by paying attention to co-curriculum and extracurricular activities.

“We started with two schools at the inception of this competition in 2017, but this year, we have a total of 32 schools in attendance and 27 participating in the various competitions. We thank the Grooming Centre who have shown great support for this vision over the years, and we are sincerely grateful for their partnership.”
