CIMA & BSTAI Schools Quiz National Final

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) partnered with the Business School Teachers Association of Ireland (BSTAI) ran a series of second-level schools quizzes across Ireland last year.  A team of Business Studies students from The High School were placed third in the Dublin and District regional quiz and have now qualified for the national final of the competition.  The quiz master for the event will be Celebrity Apprentice judge and TV personality Brian Purcell. We should like to congratulate the team and wish them every success in the national final which will be held at LIT Tipperary in March.
