November 7, 2014

St Paul’s Year 8 pupils recently took part in in the Translink Bus Safety poster competition to highlight ways that pupils can help keep themselves safe while travelling to and from school.

Gerry D’Arcy from Translink kindly sponsored some prizes and was overwhelmed at the standard of the entries.

The winners were Ava Lennon, 1st place, Olivia Liddy, 2nd place, and James Doran and Ellen Lennon in joint 3rd.

Well done to everyone who took part.
