IFG scores with Isle of Man Schools

With the advent of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, IFG International Limited thought it would be great fun (as well as educational!) to create a competition in which all Isle of Man state school students would be able to participate, using the World Cup as a theme and putting to use their Geography, Sport, General Knowledge and ITC skills. (See attached poster in Related Media below).

IFG will be presenting two winning prizes, one for primary and the other for secondary school entries once the competition has closed and been judged in mid-July 2010.

In addition to the competition, IFG also had 300 bespoke footballs made especially for the occasion of the 2010 World Cup and each school has also received a quantity of these balls for their Sports departments.

IFG would like to take this opportunity to thank the Department of Education and Children who gave them full support with this initiative and kindly assisted in the distribution not only of most of the competition material but also of the bespoke IFG footballs. Eddie Teare MHK, Minister for Education and Children, stated “Exercise forms a major part of our schools’ activities and the support of IFG will undoubtedly encourage more young people to participate in sport. The competition will generate more interest among pupils in the World Cup, too. Team games also involve thinking of others and working with them, which is an essential skill if we are to progress in our careers.”

Note: IFG International Limited - Isle of Man is part of the International Division of IFG Group Plc. The International Division has offices in Isle of Man, Jersey, Ireland, Switzerland, UK, Cyprus, Spain and the British Virgin Islands.
