Autumn Writing Competition - Results!

Many thanks to everyone who entered our Autumn Writing competition! The theme was ‘Living in the time of COVID-19’. We are living in an unprecedented time and all of us are dealing with the interruptions and changes to our lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, we plan to preserve all entries as an archive so that students in the future can look back and understand what it was like to live during these uncertain times.

We received an unprecedented number of entries. 153 entries were received, all of which achieved an exceptionally high standard. It was very difficult for the library writing committee, Ms Caoimhe Clancy, Ms Estevez, Ms Foley, Ms Fullam, Ms O’Dwyer, Iníon Ní Dhufaidh, Mr Mallon & Ms Needham to decide on the winners.
