Kilgobnet National School in County Kerry has been named the overall winner of the national Cress Head challenge, part of the SuperValu Let’s Grow initiative.

Now in its third year, the SuperValu Let’s Grow programme encourages children across Ireland to engage with growing their own food. The initiative aims to help students understand food origins, develop food empathy, and experience hands-on learning.

Participating Kerry schools received free classroom kits earlier this year, which included seeds, compostable pots, and growing guides. Classrooms have been actively tending to their seedlings.

The Cress Head challenge specifically tasked students with growing cress and transforming it into characters. Kilgobnet N.S. was recognized for its creativity, imagination, and team spirit, earning top honours in both the Munster region and nationally.
