Brain Battle

Our live competitions bring students together for exciting academic challenges, prizes and fun activities.

Open to primary, junior secondary and senior secondary school students, these events give participants the opportunity to test their knowledge, compete for rewards and enjoy a day of learning, games and entertainment.

Depending on the event, students may compete individually or represent their schools in inter-school challenges. Outstanding students can win cash prizes to support their tuition and educational needs, alongside school materials and other rewards. Participating schools and teachers will also have opportunities to receive recognition and prizes through our inter-school competitions.

We work with school heads and participating schools in planning our competitions, engaging students and organising screening exercises. Through these partnerships, we aim to reach more children and build stronger connections between education, schools and the communities they serve.

Our live competitions are designed to take learning beyond examinations. Students can expect quizzes, games, food, entertainment and other activities that make the experience enjoyable for everyone present.

The event will bring together primary, junior secondary and senior secondary school students for a day of academic competition, educational support, games, food, drinks and entertainment.
