The 2023 Coca-Cola Games will now be held from 2nd to 4th May at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
This means the games will be held for the first time from Tuesday to Thursday.
The Ministry of Education says this decision has been made in consultation with the Games Committee.
The confirmed dates fall in the last week of term one.
The Ministry also says the current dates have been confirmed to ensure that students and teachers can enjoy their holidays without any disruptions before starting term 2.
The Education Ministry reiterates that while it encourages students to participate in the games because it helps with their balanced growth and development, it reminds teachers and students to exercise extreme care and responsibility to ensure that everyone enjoys the games without any hindrance.
