They out shone eight other schools to cart home the trophy.

The Assistant General Secretary, Finance, of the BSN, Mrs. Oluwagbemi Oluyemisi said that the competition was introduced to make pupils interact with the Bible from their tender age.
She said that the competition was in line with the biblical injunction in Proverb chapter twenty-two verse six which says children should be trained in the ways of the Lord and when they grow, they will not depart from it.
Mrs. Oluyemisi said that it is better and safer to instill moral discipline in children than in adults because as they grow up it becomes their way of life.
