Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Class pupils from St Mogue’s National School, Currin have been chosen to represent Co Cavan at the 2024 final of the Our World Irish Aid Awards. The school will join nine other national finalists from other counties in Ireland at a ceremony to be held at Dublin Castle on Thursday 13th June. St Mogue’s National School is one of just ten schools in Ireland to be in the running for one of seven prestigious Our World Irish Aid Awards comprising the Changemakers Award, Gaeilge Award, Performance Award, Food for Life Award, Countries in Focus Award, Teacher of the Year and the coveted School of the Year Award. Each of the ten schools will also have their work featured in a special printed edition of the Global Goal Getters annual which will be distributed nationwide. The project from St Mogue’s National School comprises a video entitled Keep Tasting, Not Wasting. Created by Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Class pupils, it tells the story of the Global Goals in action in their community.
Congratulating St Mogue’s National School on making it to the national final, Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, Sean Fleming TD said; "Each of the projects submitted by the ten finalists demonstrate an impressive level of insight and understanding of what are complex global issues that have a devastating impact on the most vulnerable in our world. I really look forward to meeting the pupils from St Mogue’s and their teacher at the national final on June 13th. I know that there is a great sense of excitement around the opportunity to gather together to celebrate each other’s success."
