Tara picks up Lions Award

November 20, 2014

Year 14 student Tara O’Hanlon won the Newry Lions Young Ambassador of the 21st Century Award that was recently on in the Canal Court Hotel. She will now go forward to the All Ireland final. In achieving this award Tara won £250 for Newry Gateway Club where she volunteers.

She has done her school proud and we wish her the best in the next stage of the competition.

Year 14 student Anita Dennison also impressed the judges and she received funding to go towards her anti-bullying work both in school and her community.

An amazing accolade for both students.
