Congratulations to Tom and Harvey in Year 11 who were originally shortlisted from 1000 entrants for a prize at the Celebrating Young People Awards in London. Tom and Harvey were awarded the prestigious Barbara Ward prize and Million Minutes Award in recognition of their efforts to raise awareness about the impact of climate change and tackle such issues. Their prize was presented to them by Cardinal Vincent Nicholls, a Christian Brothers old boy, at the House of Commons on Thursday 7th July.
Tom and Harvey represented the Edmund Rice Schools Network at CoP 26 in Glasgow in November 2021. They have been active in the Edmund Rice Schools Network in projects such as Edmund Rice Schools Against Waste and the PRATYEK Earth Summit and are prominent in our efforts to raise the profile of sustainability, remove single-use plastic from schools and encourage composting of waste materials.
We look forward to them leading these efforts when they are in the Sixth Form.
Mr Duggan
