Every year the Grenada Food and Nutrition Council spearheads the staging of a National Nutrition Quiz among secondary schools who follow the Food and Nutrition curriculum.  The school from this quiz will represent Grenada at the regional nutrition quiz competition which is conducted by the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute (CFNI).  The objectives of this quiz are two-fold:
 
1.     To provide opportunity for students to review course work in preparation for the CXC examination
2.     To improve the image of Food and Nutritio0n not only in Grenada but also in the region.

 
As was done last year, this year’s competition was also done in zones: South, East, West and Carriacou and thereafter the winner of each zone met in the grand final. The first round of the competition was held Wednesday April 16, 2008 at 1:30pm, with the venue for the south zone being Melville Street Fish Market Conference Room; for the East zone it was Eastern District Agricultural Office in Grenville; for the West zone the venue was St. John Public Library and for Carriacou it was John’s Unique Conference Room. At the end of the zonal round of the competition the winners were as follows:
 
South Zone: St. Joseph's Convent
East Zone: St. Andrew's Anglican Seconday School
West Zone: St. Rose Modern Secondary School.
Carriacou: Bishops College
 
Anglican High School which has been champions for the past two years were dethroned as they were not able to secure a spot in the final round.
 
The final which was held on April 23, 2008 at Melville Street Fish Market Conference Room saw keen competition from the four schools. After the first round there was a lead by St. Andrew Anglican Secondary but then St. Josephs Convent showed their true knowledge by leading the competition after the third round. At the end of the competition surprisingly it was Bishoips College who had the most points and were therefore declared the champions. Kizzy neptune from St. Andrew Anglican Secondary was the Individual Champion as she got a perfect score in the individual round. The winning school Bishops College, will represent Grenada at the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute’s Regional Quiz later this year.
 
At the end of it all Bishops College was presented with the Challenge trophy as the 2008 National Nutrition Quiz Champions, St. Josephs Convent was second, St. Andrew Anglican Secondary was third and St. Rose Modern Secondary was fourth. Kizzy Neptune from St. Andrew Anglican Secondary was the individual champion.
