Irish Aid Awards 3rd Class  🏆🏆

We are delighted to celebrate our 3rd class pupils for their participation in the 2025 Our World Irish Aid Awards. Their dedication, creativity, and hard work in exploring the United Nations’ Global Goals and learning about the lives of children around the world has been truly inspiring.

Supported by Irish Aid, the Our World Awards recognise young people who are passionate about making a positive difference in the world. Our students showed an incredible commitment to global citizenship—engaging with real-world challenges, advocating for change, and showing empathy for others in different circumstances.

As a school, we are proud to share that we received a Digital Certificate and a letter of thanks from Neale Richmond TD, Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, in recognition of our involvement.

Congratulations again to our wonderful 3rd class on this achievement—your efforts are something to be truly proud of!
