“We’re excited to bring this event back. The competition started in the 1980s for Suva schools and has since expanded, with the western schools joining in 1986. This year, we’re anticipating a fantastic turnout.”

The championship will include both individual and relay events for boys and girls in the U9 to U14 categories.
