Ballinlough NS pupil wins art competition

Pupils from Ballinlough National School recently took part in an art competition run annually by The National Association of Regional Game Councils (NARGC), entitled ‘Native Animals in their Habitat’.

Shirleen Wamayu was announced as the winner, and was awarded an art set for her effort. She received high praise from the independent art teacher who judged the competition.

The NARGC is the representative organisation of gun clubs countrywide, and the initiative is part of the wider ‘Carers of the Countryside’ programme, which hopes to promote awareness of biodiversity and conservation.
