Rotary Youth Leadership Development Competition 2023
We are very proud of our 5th year students Deirdre Smith, Amy Jo Kierans and Shannon Wiggins who represented our school in the Rotary Ireland Youth Leadership Development Competition. Several students from schools all over Monaghan participated in the interview, which was based on topics like immigration, the EU, education policies, environmental issues and current affairs. The competition rewards young people with clear leadership potential based on their extra-curricular activities and the students had to include information on their personal achievements, work experience and leadership skills on their application forms. We were delighted when one of our students, Amy Jo Kierans, won that competition and she went on to represent Monaghan in the final.
