Cloverhill National School and Scoil Naisiunta Cill Ronain have been named Junior and Senior County Winners respectively of the prestigious national art competition, Someone Like Me.
The achievement secures them a place at the national awards ceremony to be held at Dublin City Hall on Tuesday, 28th of January 2025, where they will join 50 other schools to compete for the much sought after national senior and junior titles.
Now in its ninth year, the Someone Like Me art competition, which is organised by the National Disability Authority, attracted 2,783 entries from national schools across the length and breadth of the country.
The competition was created as part of the National Disability Authority’s work to nurture more positive attitudes towards persons with disabilities.
Congratulating Cloverhill National School and Scoil Naisiunta Cill Ronain on being named County Winners, Director of the National Disability Authority, Dr Aideen Hartney said that the number of entries this year is a tribute to the commitment of Ireland’s primary school teachers, who continue to play an important part helping to create an ever-more inclusive Ireland.
