EU award for Tipperary schools


Local Fine Gael TD Noel Coonan has congratulated two North Tipperary Schools on achieving a Blue Star and EU Flag.

Lisenhall National School, Nenagh and the Sacred Heart Primary School, Roscrea carried out projects in relation to the history, geography, culture and institutions of the EU.

Deputy Coonan described it as a great achievement for both schools whose teachers and pupils were very innovative in their projects.

The Blue Star Programme was a pilot programme for primary schools nationally. The objective was to encourage primary schools to undertake a module of tasks and projects on topics broadly related to the European Union.
